Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

Virgin Media has today move all Kids Channels back to Kids Pack - but I see that Cartoon Network HD is still on Channel 732 on my boxes.

Also all Asian channels are now FREE until November 14th.

Presumably a final offer for users of old legacy set top boxes which have already been restricted to PSB channels only. I believe those boxes will see ITV SD on 113, so the slate will appear before and after PSB channels on the EPG on those boxes. If the slate had been left on 106, it would have been in the middle of the PSB range, so the reason for the change of slot is now more obvious.
I know that V Boxes did die in January 2019 (My late Dad has one in his bedroom).

So it will be V+ Boxes that are set to close later this month on the 30th. My Dad move over to TiVo in April 2019 so I do not know that is broadcasting on V+ Boxes. But latest I know of in here: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33707489
