Missing Channels

I see Virgin Media are at it again

BBC3, BBC4 Cbeebies have now vanished (probably gone to the same place as SKY1)

Re: Missing Channels

Probably a reboot of the STB is needed here!

Try that.

Re: Missing Channels

Have now tried a second Reboot (left it off for longer) and they have come back from the abyss.

My next question is why did they vanish

Re: Missing Channels

Perhaps they as you said went out in sympathy with Sky...

Re: Missing Channels

There's apparently a fault, according to a recorded message on the VM faults line...

We're missing those channels too at the moment, plus a few others like Living and some other kids channels. They've been coming and going for the past few days, much to the annoyance of my 6-yr-old!

Re: Missing Channels

I am missing BBC2 also.

To get round this, use channel 865 which is BBC2 England. That is still working.

Re: Missing Channels

Adventure One? I remember having it after National Geography but it ain't there now... was it removed? Or it wasn't there at all?
