From the www.virgin1.co.uk

From June 1st Virgin +1 (a timeshift service) will not be available in Freeview homes. Virgin 1+1 will still be available for Virgin Media and Sky customers and Virgin 1 remains at channel 20 in Freeview homes. Unfortunately this does mean that Freeview viewers in Wales will not be able to receive Virgin 1 at all in peak and may need to subscribe to a pay service should they wish to continue to enjoy Virgin 1 in peak. We are really sorry for any inconvenience this causes our viewers. If you have any queries, please call 0870 043 4141.

And here's me thinking that the thread was about Freeview Virgin +1 :p:

Virgin+1 is still available from other sources

I'm not a fan of +1 services on Freeview anyway. It seems such a waste when there is a shortage of space on the DVB-T platform as it is.
