The right channels

When scrolling through the programme guide I used to come to the part of the menu which showed the channels not available unless I requested them as add-ons. Last night I couldn't find these greyed out channels anywhere. Is there still a list of add-on channels somewhere?

Re: The right channels

Thank you. I was just curious as to why there is no longer on-screen access to the add-on channels.

What do you mean?

You should still see greyed out channels within the EPG if you don't subscribe to them

I used to find the greyed out channels listed after my own subscribed channels but not any more hence my original post.

Re: The right channels

Are you thinking of the old NTL EPG, where you could move all your unsubscribed channels to the end? Now you can't rearrange them.

Yep, still there.

Maybe V0id means the old system where you could arrange the channels yourself?

It's official, I'm an idiot. I was looking in the wrong place for the greyed out channels. Put it down to a senior moment, well I am 64!
