I also don't think non essential VM staff would appreciate being asked to go into work first thing New Years Day to change the encryption level! (unless this can be programmed in advance). When does the non essential freeze on changes end this/next year?

I could be wrong and it may be that it is the decision of VM as to which pack a basic channel goes into. I say this because I know that Sky were extremely annoyed that VM initially put Sky 1 into the free M TV pack. This only changed when Sky and VM agreed carriage terms for Sky 3/Pick TV and this channel replaced Sky 1 to align it with the freeview service that M TV broadly reflects.

CBS reality , CBS Drama , Horror , CBS Action and the relevant +1s are in the M pack at the moment.
