Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Many FTA channels have to pay to be on VM, maybe the costs increase according to how low the package they are in ie the lower the package, the more available viewers (better advertising rates)= the greater the cost??

AFAIK this doesn't affect some channels that have been on Freeview for some time eg Really as VM made concessions in their bid to make the M pack competitive with Freeview.

It's obviously no longer the case otherwise we would have seen truTV on VM from day one!

Typical vm we#ll give you freebies that are already free everywhere else because VM yesterdays technology and tv today.
I certainly wouldn't pay extra just to get these channels. A cheap Freesat box would suffice and the material is probably on UK Play.
