Seemed a pointless move to convert it to MPEG4!
IIRC, didn't this black channel replace a standalone black film channel called Nollywood? I think that Nollywood then became available to all customers on Mix and above.
Nollywood then closed down on Sky and VM. On VM ABN replaced it and on Sky it was replaced by the FTA channel 'Retro Movies'. It was though that this was just a placeholder to keep and sell on their EPG slot, but It's still broadcasting and they announced the other day that they will be joining Freesat within the next three months. Maybe they will join VM too??
Retro Movies is like a poor man's Talking Pictures TV
