TPTV is Talking Pictures TV on channel 445. Rewind isn't on Virgin, it's on Sky and last I heard they were looking into starting on Freesat and Freeview.
A lot of the smaller channels don't join Virgin because it costs too much compared to the other platforms and the extra ad revenue wouldn't cover the extra costs.
I've often wondered why Virgin don't agree to pay a notional carriage fee for these poorer channels to cover most of the price that FTA channels have to pay in order to be carried on cable. This way they make a little money and it's a better service for their customers.
When the UKTV channels were removed lots of channels like Hirse & Country were added to try and make up for it, so there must be some way to do it.
