NTL did something similar. Around once every 2 days, they rotated channel 106 (when BBC One was channel 1) aka the Guest Channel, so the channels in the more expensive packages were allowed to air on this slot for 24-48 hours before handing over this slot to another channel in order to tempt customers in the basic pack to upgrade. I have a feeling something such as this may return to Virgin.

I too recall The Guest Channel on NTL, but I remember it being on longer than a few days; IIRC it changed every month.

Then, one month 'Rapture' was The Guest Channel. After the month was up it remained on its own channel on the most basic package at the time and The Guest Channel was no more.

I suspect that they had just signed a carriage agreement with Rapture and used this to create the impression that it was something extra for the final month of The Guest Channel

Sky and Virgin Media could be forced to give iPlayer and CBeebies better slots
