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

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.

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!
