Do you mean like TLC, where it is the same channel, but now with different owners?

Have the new owners changed the output of the channel significantly, like TLC?

TLC has always been owned by Discovery?

Indeed it has, but perhaps he was referring to Discovery which up until 5 years ago was owned and controlled by the person who is now the ultimate boss of Virgin Media aka the billionaire John Malone.

As for the Travel Channel it was owned by Discovery between 1997 to 2007 when it was sold to US cableco Cox. In 2010 Cox sold Travel to its current owner Scripps who now also own half of UKTV.

There are very few operators who would refuse to allow you add-ons to an existing contract! If you have an 18 month contract with Virgin Media, they will not prevent you from adding Sky Movies!

Incidentally, good to see we are getting the Travel Channel. I used to enjoy watching that and was really annoyed when they took it off cable.

Only Sky Atlantic to go and I will be quite happy with the channels myself.

All I will then want is the access to the six lanes of programmes Mr Fries was talking about!

Perfect timing for Glastonbury and Wimbledon as they have stated.
Hopefully this can be a turning point for the red button on Virgin/Tivo
