IIRC, wasn't the Horror Channel originally in XL or L before being moved down to M+?
I have suggested for a long time that it would benefit both VM and it's customers to have the best of Freeview and Freesat in the M pack.

Have I missed them being discussed on here or does anyone remember them being brought up with regards to Virgin Media getting them? Ta.

A channel 4 employee has confirmed that the extra Channel 4 HD channels are on Freeview only at the moment to utilise otherwise wasted capacity. In due course, it is hoped to get these channels onto other platforms.
