Maybe it will stay FTA, especially if FTA E4 HD comes to fruition??

Is this the start of the shift to On Demand viewing that some have predicted?

Well, that is the big question, Richard, although to be fair, the reasoning behind this move appears to be to improve accessibility to their programmes (ie through computers, tablets, etc). But having said that it does point to the thinking that I have set out in another thread that as on demand becomes the norm, there is simply no point in continuing to incur the additional time, effort and expense of running a linear channel unless the revenues from advertising continue to be sufficient to turn a decent profit.
I am not sure how much advertising there is on Motors TV, so I cannot be sure that this logic formed part of the reasoning behind the decision.

Well, they were in the French form of Administration, so I assume that cost cutting is a factor in this decision.

The bulk of channels on VM are encrypted, even if they are FTA elsewhere. 4seven is encrypted so it would be strange not to encrypt the HD version.
Although I still haven't had time to check through the last scans I received, I did a count check for "4sevenHD" and it only found 5 occurrences out of 68 networks, so it would appear that this has only been added in a limited number of regions at this stage of testing.

Only showing as present in the Network Information Table for 4 regional networks. The last time I checked these were:
TTA Knowsley DMC (Hayes_RHE)
NGRHEE Knowsley
NGRHEE Bromley
Code Download Test (Portsmouth)
So not available to the general public and still not "testing" across the national network.

Spend some time still in UK . Still looking at closing down UK businesses.

I've not actually had time to analyse the last scans I received in much detail but I did notice that they show that Kix has been added to the SDT, no video, audio streams etc available at present.

It will be nice to see how this develops, the report is a bit vague. Maybe the new HD channel will be coming soon to VM. I guess March 2017 is "soon" as far as this thread is concerned.  |
If what you're saying is right, jj20x, and Kix is testing on VM, then I am hoping for further Sony/CSC channels yet to launch. I am absolutely dying to see Sony Movies and True Crime and maybe relaunch Scuzz and Chart Show TV. They would be great additions to the VM lineup in my opinion.

Doubt very much AMC will ever arrive on VM after vm threw that tantrum at BT a while back. 4sevenhd is testing was posted further up in the thread, also so was info about sony movies, did you read the thread first before posting as most of this info was answered?
The last page answers 4sevenhd and sony movies alone,

Re AMC,never say never I say. If viewing figures are poor pressure may be on them to accept what Virgin offer them. On the other hand BT may be happy to keep it to themselves even as a loss leader.
