As reported by me on Feb. 23rd:

Virgin Sources have told Media Boy HQ that Picturebox will be removed from Virgin Media on April 1st.

We are told this is due to its small customer base and to make room for more services in the future.

©copyright 2015 Media Boy 2006 - 2015. An ''Keep it real and free'' Production.

Maybe Universal think they can get more money if they go £x per viewer and not £5 per month.

I class all information these days as rumours too tbh as in my eyes nothing is confirmed until it actually shows up on the virgin epg which i rely on you guys for that info for these days lol as i just use on demand and online services now.

This was not a dig at you theone. As with MB, I appreciate you making the effort to let us know. I also undertsand the need to respect your sources wishes, I have never belittled any other dnp's from anyone before. This one just baffles me.

Even taking into account the only "one person knowing the rumour" argument (seems unlikely only a couple of people in two major businesses would hear this rumour) why would they be sworn to secrecy if they freely admit something may happen on the back of a rumour? Unless your source is the second-in-command to a head honcho at either Universal or VM, he must have been given the rumour from someone else who already knows said rumour - thus making it unlikely that your source will be suspected.

Still, I do not know the full ins and outs of the process, so it was wrong of me to question it (even if it does baffle me).

Apologies if I offended you with my post, I will try and be clearer with my thought process in future, or even better not post anything about it.

Which is a waste of time and channel slot, cause it's absolute pish!

No apology needed no offence was caused.

They can't monetise their back catalogue through a subscription service but might be able to blag enough in carriage fees and advertising revenue to make it worthwhile?

[muppetman11]

Anything is possible but personally can't see it.

Is Picturebox still available on Talk Talk TV and connected devices ?

Yes. http://www.pictureboxfilms.com/how-to-get-it

Maybe VM will launch Amazon Prime instead?

The DNP order from Feb. 23rd is just an rumour from an Virgin Source.

We seen rumours about Universal Movie Channel months ago.

No Virgin Sources can confirmed if UMC is coming or not.

If your DNP orders have been reduced, can you not reveal the information you were given on the one that is no longer in place? Or has this been subject to a SIKAT Order?

By the way, that's a 'Self Imposed Kiss and Tell' Order.

The other DNP from late December I have been given no update in months.

Yes, but the one that is no longer on DNP - what was it?

[denphone]

Indeed that is the question? .
