Oh well, it probably won't be for very long considering how long it usually takes That's Media to rename their channels.

Tiny Pop is to shortly return to Sky and Freeview.

Does anyone know if it will be returning to Virgin? I doubt it personally because it's short lived replacement (GREAT! Real) was not added to Virgin when Tiny Pop was removed about 6 months ago.

I'll stick to watching rugby, American football and baseball(or rounders as it would be called here) are a cure for insomnia

The epg is your friend. But here goes...

It's got politically incorrect stuff like 'Till Death do us part...' . Virtually half of it was 'beeped' out the other day, which made it hard to follow, complex plot that it was...

If that's not for you try 'Up Pompei', where Frankie Howerd pretends to be Roman, heterosexual and have some hair. Not sure which of those is more unbelievable....

It also has 'Steptoe and son', the best sitcom ever.

Ask around - No new channels are testing on Virgin right now.

But a label called Aaj Tak is being shown on the network with no video.

Thanks.

Aaj Tak sounds like an Asian channel to me.

Edit: It's an Indian news channel. If anybody is keen to watch it before it launches, I believe it's on YouTube.

The video / audio had been added but were removed but the service has been left in the SDT and the NIT of some of Virgin's private networks. Make of that what you will but the Hindi language news channel probably won't be appearing anytime soon. It's a little surprising that, sister channel, India Today wasn't added (in the background) with Aaj Tak but their excessive use of flashing graphics isn't really what most UK viewers will be used to.

I assume it still won't be moving from Music to Entertainment despite it's content changing months ago.

Visual overload.

Yeah, I had to stop viewing the link after about 2 minutes, just too much.
