Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Does anyone know when the forthcoming Sky carriage agreement is up for renewal?
I ask because it is feared that Sky could take full advantage of the UKTV issue as outlined in post #210 of this thread:

Why are you watch Babenation?

This is how UK viewing figures are worked out.
https://www.barb.co.uk/about-us/how-we-do-what-we-do/
There is a panel of 5,100 homes around the UK that are monitored and they work out a percentage of them and work it out then based on the total population.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Amidst all of the changes I think VM has accidentally put a few of the channels in the wrong packs. Some channels have changed packs, such as Lifetime, Turbo and True Entertainment but there are at least two I think have had the incorrect flags applied to.
The latest Channel Guide confirms that HISTORY (including in HD & the +1) and C+I (including HD & the +1) should only be available to Full House customers.
However, on the V6 box customers on lower packs are currently able to watch HISTORY HD (but not SD & +1), and on Virgin TV Go they can watch C+I too.
I wonder how long it will be until they notice!

Hmmm just in time for Sky's IP based Sky Q service to roll out and they can sell direct to VM customers without them having to switch broadband

Nothing to do with the takeover , Sky was developing this long before Comcast were on the scene.

God, is that all it is? I thought it would be a new channel or streaming service!
I'm quite deflated now!
However, this autumn should see some interesting developments on VM.
