They may just autofill it using the SD version's schedule data. Maybe they'll go the other way and axe the SD version on VM.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
Anyone had a look through the My5 app? had a good look at it and the Pluto TV stuff thats in there as well as the Paramount tv pbs and a few other channels looks good. Doesnt look like a full integration of pluto tv though

MY5 only has a couple of Plutotv channels on it anyway, if/when Pluto tv comes to the v6 it will be it's own app.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
There are going to be three satellite feeds for Pick. Pick SD, Pick HD and Pick alternate.
Apparently, Pick HD & SD will show the FTA football and Pick alternate will be used for the ROI where the football won't be shown on it (this will show 'Caught on Dashcam' instead).
Cheeky Angus and I think that VM will show the Sky Sports feed on channel 100 when the free football is on. I assume that this will be in HD as those wanting to watch it in SD could do so on Pick.
I wonder if VM Ireland will have to temporarily swap their feed to Pick alternate??
Just to confuse matters even more, it's been said that the FTA football will also be shown on the encrypted Sky One! Will VM have to temporarily black out Sky One in the ROI when the football is on!?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
I know the V6 has had Prime Video a while but I have noticed this: on the TiVo - on demand - box sets - tv players - and there is a functioning Prime Video app...

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
I checked out All4 yesterday and it's not got all the content. I specifically went looking for Scrubs and it tells you to watch it on a PC or Mobile.

If the games are on Sky One HD why would Virgin do anything?

Well Sky1 HD isn't on all TV tiers and Pick HD existing is clearly to allow a wider audience to watch in HD. So VM either need to allow Pick HD on their platform or have a temporary Free period, say on Channel 100 like they often do for events, for any HD channel of Sky's when the matches are on.

I get that, I just don’t know why Virgin would bother? Those interested in HD, or just football, probably have whatever they call TV XL these days anyway.
Those below could make do with SD. That’s all that’d be on freeview anyway.

ER is missing, too. Both ER and Scrubs are featured in Virgin’s All 4 Press Release

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
ER is missing on the Sky version. It is normal for the different platforms to have different rights.
The channels provide a list of available and unavailable platforms and it often highlights that selected programmes are available by one version only (like Freeview) and all versions expect one (say mobile download).
ITV have to block some of their stuff on Amazon only.

You could report it to the 4Viewers team:
https://www.channel4.com/4viewers/contact-us
It seems odd that programmes specifically mentioned in VM's press release would be missing.
