We already knew it wouldn't be available on V6 thanks to TV24.

It seems perfectly possible that 1 million of VM's estimated 3 million TV customers have 360 or Stream by now.

Thanks for this, really wondered if it was just me. If you find out if it's been fixed, can you let me know so I can check my TV. Thanks again

I was negatively assuming they only had around 1 million TV customers these days as TV watching in general is going down, I’ve not seen numbers for a LONG time.

I was waiting for an official source. No idea who TV24 are, never heard of them.

It’s a listings guide, cheekyangus.

Ta. I mostly use a mix of EPGs and occasionally newspaper supplements. Rare that I use a website these days.

Withholding it won’t make me move over.
Withholding it from customers paying the same price for the package is interesting. I wonder how Ofcom and trading standards will view this...

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
Those sticking to V6 are refusing the upgrade requests.

It is in T&C (F2 actually) so the customer is choosing NOT to take the channel.

We reserve the right to upgrade and update the system, the equipment and the services from time to time and you agree that we may do so.

It certainly takes the inducement to another level, and it makes me wonder if there are targets for migrations that are being missed.

Fair enough not developing new apps for what is a legacy platform, but to use broadcast channel availability is something new.

In a choice between TiVo V6 & Sky Atlantic, I'd still take TiVo every time - based on TV360's feature set today. The product should sell itself.

If Virgin are going to force customers to lose their recorded content in order to get access to new channels it's decision time. How many customers are staying with Virgin simply to keep their recordings as they work through the backlog? If they are going to lose them anyway, why stay?

There should be an interesting reaction to this on Virgin's community forum.
Oh wait.. they've taken it down. How convenient.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
In which case VM are withholding MUTV and LFCTV from Stream viewers.

Sky Stream is missing aboout 30-40 channels compared to SkyQ.

My plan worked by saying it wasn't coming it is coming, the things i do for you guys
Atlantic and HBOMAX might not be the only goodies coming to vm either.
Atlantic is changing though so keep that in mind.
