Looks like Virgin have screwed something up yet again though as people on the lower tiers are complaining they can't access it.

Apparently subs codes for "Player" and above have now been added, so the Virgin TV Ultra HD channel should now be available to anyone with a V6 or 360 box. Better late than never.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
Rumour: Is ViacomCBS set to rebrand Paramount Network as 5Action???
A poster over on DS Forum has started a thread called 5Action, is it coming to Freeview? but I have been working to see if I can find anything on the web to back this rumour up with no luck.
A other poster think ViacomCBS are maybe thinking about axing the Paramount Network brand ahead of Paramount + launch in 2022.

The logic of it being Paramount Network is the most likely, in my opinion The only other remote possibility is that the CBS channels are rebranding (again), CBS Justice used to be CBS Action. But those are a joint-venture, and the Paramount idea makes more sense to me.

https://imgur.com/KhQVgUq Although imgur isn't most reliable but i'd say it's 90% happening.

That's the whole point. They can't have a Paramount TV channel pumping out repeats of Police Interceptors and Traffic Cops, Sewermen and westerns, when they are in the midst of launching Paramount+ as a premium OTT service. 5Spike should never have been rebranded to Paramount Network in the first place.
