I won't pay for Pluto when I can watch it for free on the Nvidea Shield.

Pluto does not charge on any of the platforms I have seen.

The whole ethos of Pluto TV is that it's Free TV. Viacom wouldn't allow VM to charge for it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
There must be another channel reshuffle on the way on 5th November. PBS America have just tweeted the following
Quote:
We're on the move for our Virgin Media viewers!
As of Tuesday 5th November, PBS America can be found on @virginmedia 273.
Our channel numbers for Freeview, Freesat and Sky will remain the same.
See you there!

Given that's History2 HD currently there must be a bigger change on the way.
---------- Post added at 11:16 ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 ----------
Currently EPG is
271 History+1
273 History2 HD
276 PBS America
277 Forces TV
So they could have just moved up to 274, since 274/275 are empty. Either PBS said wrong number, or channels above them are also moving.
---------- Post added at 11:18 ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 ----------
It could be as simple as History2 is moving up one to 272, which is empty, and then everything below is moving up.
---------- Post added at 11:22 ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 ----------
I've just scrolled along the EPG to 5th November mentioned in tweet.
LoveNature HD is moving to 275 on that date according to programme data on the 294 which was vacated today.
Given this means PBS will be on 273 and LoveNature on 275 I'd guess it's likely another channel will be moving to 274.

Close to what I was thinking. They tend not to like changing order of broadcasters though to keep them on-side, so it's more likely ForcesTV will be 274 and Smithsonian on 276.

Look like only some channels are moving (Not Discovery Channels) so you may be on the ball with this one.
270. History HD
271. History +1
272. History 2 HD (Not Confirmed)
273. PBS America (PBS Confirmed)
274. Forces TV (Not Confirmed)
275. Love Nature HD (Confirmed by Virgin Media)
276. Smithsonian Channel HD (Not Confirmed)
TiVo says the following channels is Lifestyle Channels
287. God Channel
298. H&C
But as of October 28th the following Documentaries Channels Love Nature HD and Smithsonian Channel HD has been given channels for use for Lifestyle Channels (Channels 278 to 299).

I'm not sure why you say that, but we'll see. I am pretty sure they won't charge extra for Pluto on their premium packs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
It's looking increasingly likely that Sony Crime will be the next channel to close.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
There are pop-ups now showing regarding moves on 5th November.
PBS America moving to 273
Forces TV moving to 274
LoveNature moving to 275
Smithsonian moving to 276
Oddly not one currently on History2 HD, which must be moving as it's currently on 273.
