A TV company in the Baltics is now providing a Ukrainian TV news channel with an English language translation:

I'm thinking of asking the Execs office if Virgin would rebroadcast this channel to help keep refugees from Ukraine coming to the UK & Ireland. Maybe it might be better coming from an employee of the company??

I doubt that getting pay TV installed will be a priority for those fleeing Ukraine, but people all over the country are offering their spare rooms who may have Virgin installed and this would help their guests keep in touch with home produced content.

There would need to be some legalities to clear, but I think it could be doable, but it would be a waste of time if Virgin doesn't have the technical ability to obtain a feed from Astra 4.
