I'd hardly call classic Disney stuff garbage, i'm guessing that's what it'll be if the rumour is true.

I love those channels, but True Movies 2 coming to the network

It's an app that is said to be coming soon to TiVo Max. It will allow VM customers to access a range of foreign channels/programmes.
As per MB it will have it's own EPG slot (*as opposed to the normal way that TiVo customers access apps).
*I'm not sure how TiVo customers access apps, as I don't have one.

I think making it an app is a great idea. It removes lots of channels from the EPG that won't be of interest to most people but gives cable customers the widest choice of channels.

Side point - the True Movies website has been down since August. As the True channels don't trouble the BARB ratings too much, this will have gone largely unnoticed. Sony now says the new site will be up and running by the end of December.

I can see this channel coming to VM next year:

BroadbandTVNews The International Olympic Committee plans to launch an OTT TV channel as early as 2015, which will be stocked with archive material and some international sports coverage.
The decision was taken during a meeting of the full membership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Monaco. The OTT channel is part of the Olympic Agenda 2020, which consists of 20+20 recommendations.

Yes the IOC have been clearing out previously tolerated olympic sports videos on VOD websites over the last year. I wondered why they were doing this.

So you don't think it will appear on the EPG as a web portal?
