These have been available on my Stream box since Monday. Selecting them opens the Pluto TV app and streams the channels.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Sorry, but I really don't see the fascination with FAST channels. However, if they fill a gap in the market, good luck to them. Personally, I find them third rate, but that's just my opinion.
I wonder if the FAST channels will still be operating in 20 years' time?

Well, it is only a mechanism to launch selected channels from the EPG, the channels are still there in the Pluto app for anyone wishing to watch them on a V6 box. It does make you think though, how long was it since Virgin said that various Pluto channels were to be integrated with the EPG? Months after the announcement they only manage a partial launch.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Richard assuming again ?
His question was ;
Quote:
|
Do you know if/when people will be forcibly migrated from V6 to 360?
|
So the response of 'Yes' does no confirm their will be a migration at all.

No. Don’t confuse FAST channels with the main conventional channels we are used to.

What's the difference? 
You yourself a mere 15 months ago were waxing lyrical about their position in the future over tired, boring, linear channels.
