Wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

Look at how long it took for the Sky Sports Premium HD charge to finally be removed.

I doubt it, the main reason Sky Max is changing back to Sky One is because HBO Max app launches 30 days later.

1st April is also a significant date for Sky because it's the day they implement their price rises for TV and broadband customers.

That's also the date for VM's 2026 price increases as per https://www.uswitch.com/broadband/gu...-customers-do/

Fixed price increase
Contracts starting from 9 January 2025: £3.50 per month price increase on 1 April.
Contracts starting from 2 October 2025: £4 price increase on 1 April.
Inflation price increase
If you signed up to your current contract before 9 January 2025, your 2026 price increase will be 7.7%.

That would be great news but the start date makes me think it's a April Fool...

Also shows up on TV 24 app (only if you have Virgin as your TV provider) and search what's on

Guess we will find out next Tuesday on Channel 111
