I wonder if channel 100 is now being used in a similar way to the old Guest Channel?

Cartoon Network ends at 5:59 Wednesday on channel 100, then on 31/10/16 it's TCM for the day.

My EPG only goes up until 2am on 3/12/16.

Don't forget that it's possible to record from these channels and watch the programmes after the Freeview ends.

It's only Sky channels that don't allow you to watch recorded content after you stop subscribing (or any Freeview period ends) to one of their channels.

The full version of the Exorcist is on TCM at 9pm on 31/10/16 for Halloween for anyone who wants to see it.

Edit:

Just realised that there's more on offer than what's on channel 100:

These channels will be temporarily available in all packages:

From 5 October until 4 November:

TCM
TCM HD
TCM +1
Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network +1
Cartoonito
Boomerang
Boomerang +1

From 7 October until 6 November:

Nick
Nick +1
Nick HD
Nick Jr
Nick Jr Too
Nicktoons

Effective from 1 September until 1 December

CBS Action
CBS Drama
CBS Reality
CBS Reality +1
Horror
Horror +1

"Virgin Media customers are going to be the first to access the new Play apps released by Viacom for its MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Comedy Central channels.
The new multiyear agreement with Virgin Media in the UK and Ireland includes the networks, alongside new channels, catch up and boxed sets. Channel 5’s Milkshake will make its debut in November, while entertainment channel Spike will also be made available for the first time."
Not sure what they mean about Spike which is on channel 154.

Virgin Media is reporting:

Quote:

As part of the deal, Spike has also been made available to Virgin Media customers for the first time, alongside more than 20 other Viacom channels. Spike mixes the best of US

But Virgin Media UK broadcast (When you take way all +1 hour channels):

01. Channel 5
02. Comedy Central
03. MTV
04. Channel 5 HD
05. 5STAR
06. My5
07. 5USA
08. Spike
09. Comedy Central HD
10. Comedy Central Extra
11. MTV HD
12. BET

24. Nick Jr. Too (We feel this channel will be rebranded as Milkshake in November).
25. Nicktoons

http://www.virginmedia.com/corporate...-offering.html

Look like we are not getting any of the following channels as part of this deal.

•Nick Jr. HD
•Nick Jr. +1
•Comedy Central Extra +1
•MTV CLASSIC (Broadcasts in Virgin Media Ireland areas right now).
•MTV MUSIC +1
•MTV +1

Inactive Digital · 20-10-2016, 13:15

My guess is that this deal was signed months ago and any linear channels that were agreed as part of the deal have already launched (eg Spike, 5 Star+1).

Is that inside information or just what you have read from the article?

It does say:

The partnership ensures Virgin Media customers will continue to enjoy favourite networks like MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon as well as bringing new channels, additional catch up TV and box sets to Virgin Media’s TV platform.

However, they may mean 'channels' in the broader sense, or they may be referring to the additional channels on TV Anywhere.

It's also worth noting that True Entertainment & True Movies are now said to be available in all packages (but that it is not yet known if this is temporary or not). Does anybody know?

That theory makes sense but with VM you can never be totally sure.

Arthurgray50@blu · 20-10-2016, 18:07

I am now starting to get really fed up with VM. Firstly our bill arrived today, and increase of £5.00 which is staggering. As there is nothing new with VM

We get told the same old stuff from VM. No increase in channels, and yet we 'are' told BT Sport is FREE. What a load of crap.

VM have put the prices is up to cover the cost of BT Sport.
We are told that ' we give our customers the best entertainment possible' but at what cost.

I for one does not have a bottomless pocket.

If VM are annoying you that much why not switch? SKY have decent offers on nowadays and plenty of broadband providers around who do not throttle your connection like vm do.

l thought he had already decided to go to Sky a few weeks ago.

I honestly do not know of any company that desn't increase prices annually.

The costs got too much for me which is why i cut the cord but i have recently been given a superb offer from SKY for SKYQ but my landlord messed that up by not allowing SKY to upgrade the communal system.
