I really won't be sorry to see the back of TIVO.

I cut the cord completely and haven't missed a single pay channel, i find my vpn, netflix, amazon and us login are more than enough, i don't think you'll miss much tbh.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
ITV give CITV more hours.
ITV did confirm on Friday (Feb, 19th) that CITV will now broadcast until 9pm on Virgin UK Channel 732 from tonight.
NOTE: Freeview viewers will still close at 6pm.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
How childish of ITV in rushing this through just before CBBC can extend it's hours after the BBC3 linear TV closure.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
Just seen that Sky1 will now be showing Sky News during the night.
Further Sky cost cutting after paying for the football rights, or an effort to boost the Sky News ratings??

Rating boost at 5am to 6am?
Just Sky way of copying BBC One.
Do Pick still show Sunrise in the early morning slot?

Noticed a new Romanian channel and Europe1 have appeared on there recently. More French channels would be welcome from me.

I don't think we should be complaining about channels increasing their hours, Richard!

"Dear CITV,

Agree with Theone. If you do miss some of the pay TV shows, then a Now TV subscription covers many of those, which you can get for £5 per month if you buy 3 month passes. Often there are deals around that make it even cheaper.
