Shame their TV apps are disappearing everywhere.

This will actually save Virgin money as they will no longer have to pay carriage fees for Eurosport. With TNT Sports, as a standalone channel, costs are met by subscribers.
It might make me adjust our package, I have no intention of subscribing to TNT. I watch a lot of Eurosport and it suited being part of a general channel package, I don’t do premium sports channels, I don’t watch enough to justify the cost.

Those were the days ��
Yup, an attempt to bring Pay TV to Digital Terrestrial sitting alongside Freeview, offering bits of channels rather than full ones and overnight bits that the box recorded due to the space limitations of DTT.

Interesting concept. Wasn’t a subscriber personally.
