I still watch them, Den, but through my recordings to avoid the ads and to watch them when I want to see them.
I won't be recording anything from Viceland if it comes unless they improve radically the quality of their material.

Yes Viceland certainly has to improve considerably in the content it is showing that is for sure OB.

Possibly, but Sony tend to repeat content across their channels, so that isn't conclusive evidence of a future merger.

Do you know if it been confirmed that True Movies 2 has been axe for good?

The listings feeds for both True Drama and True Movies 2 have disappeared rather than being replaced with listings for the +1 timeshifts. Sony sometimes uses +1 timeshifts as fillers before launching new services, so the space could be reserved for new services (or even reserved to bring more>movies / moviemix back to Sky). I wouldn't like to predict what will actually happen.

We was only asking due to this wee bit on Wikipedia (Yes we know everyone can update this page).

From 30 September 2016, the channel was temporarily renamed as a 1 hour timeshift of True Christmas.

I had seen that too. Even though anyone can edit Wikipedia it is a vague "safe" statement with no source referenced. True Christmas +1 is a temporary rename as the channel is a temporary seasonal channel, it doesn't actually state that it will revert to True Movies 2 at some point. It remains to be seen whether or not True Movies 2 returns in January. At the moment, the lack of a listings feed suggests there may be further changes ahead.

You would think that channel 106 would connect with a red button directly to BBC3 via the BBC i-Player. At least that would encourage people to watch this material.

That's what I thought - the CBS suite of channels should be in all packs anyway. I appreciate that they've not always been on Freeview/Freesat but they have been for some time now so VM needs to reflect this.

Yes. But other platforms don't do this either. I would like to see 106 deeplinked to the BBC3 content on the iPlayer, not just iPlayer itself.

On Freesat BBC One HD moved from 108 to 106, maybe VM will move it also.
