The TV Edit webpage suggests not only My5 and Pluto, but All4 too.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
It's good news if All 4 and My5 are finally being added to Virgin TV, joining the existing BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub apps. It's pretty poor that it's taken this long to add them considering they've been on Freeview Play for many years.

Not everyone has ITV Hub, Scotland has STV Player but the other ITV channels are still via Virgin Media's On-Demand systems.

With most channels only showing repeats,as there is a lack of new series being filmed because of the virus, it will be very difficult for Virgin to justify a price increase this year.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
Can anybody really see drama's,soaps,etc being filmed anytime in the near future?.Every actor/character social distancing,no touching,face masks,maybe gloves.Not to be too pessimistic it means tons of repeats which will put the bbc in pole position!.

Well they can composite many scenes. Film it once for every actor and combine them all. Won't work for everything, obviously scenes where touching is required won't work.
There's an infamous scene in the final The Good Wife where they made a scene like this. They said for scheduling reasons, but there were long standing reports that the two actors didn't get along.
Orphan Black had the same actor up to 7 or 8 times in some scenes as they were all played by the same person. They did this in every episode for every series.
The current show Devs (BBC2) has a variation for reasons I won't go into for fear of spoiling anything.

There's not much new stuff on over the summer months anyway. We won't really start to notice the impact of delayed filming until the autumn.
