General : Virgin TV (2026)

[OLD BOY]

Interesting…

VM have told me via the medium of "X" that it is their "information... that the channel [Sky One] is going to be available to V6 users".

[TimeLord2018]

It's a renaming of Sky Max, with Sky Showcase channel removed - programming like The Day Of the Jackal , Gangs Of London & The Gilded Age are still available On Demand until 31st March....

Anyone know if this is coming to Virgin and, if so, will it be free?

Reportedly Sky Cinema Animation will be getting merged back into Sky Cinema Family soon, so guess it replaces that, Sky Cinema Animation also moves from 412 to 405 on Tuesday.

so on the epg it looks like sky one is going to 111 and 109 is going to be empty?

Sky Max moves to 109 on Tuesday and renamed Sky One, Sky Showcase closes and is removed.

Channel numbers are confirmed in TV Guide magazines from Tuesday.

The V6 must be able to cope with it, as the TV360 software can run on the V6.

Some V6 boxes can run 360, others die out of self respect...
