The French channels were added back in January, check the post on your website.

As an update to your January post:

French Bouquet:

Subscription channels: France 2, France 3, France 5 & Cartoon TV French.
Free channel: BFM TV

Eurochannel has departed from the app since January, so much for that one...

Spanish Bouquet:

Subscription channels: Antena 3, Atreseries (aka A3Series), MIS (Made In Spain) & TVE
Free channel: Canal 24 Horas

Portuguese Bouquet:

Subscription channels: Benfica TV, TVI Internacional, TVI Ficção & Criança TV
Free channel: SiC International (SIC Internacional)

Polish Bouquet:

Subscription channels: TVP Polonia, ITVN, ITVN Extra & Kino Polska International
Free channels: TVN 24, TVP Info & Kino Polska Muzyka International

Russian Bouquet:

Subscription channels: Planeta HD, Moolt, Bestseller & RTR Planeta
Free channels: CTC (STS) & Russia 24

European Bouquet:

Free channels: TGCOM24 (Italian), 1 + 1 (Ukrainian) & TVRI (Romanian)

Arabic Bouquet:

Free channel: Nessma

In your January post you listed VIVA and Coleta as FTA channels, they weren't channels just the names of the Spanish and Portuguese Worldbox apps. These apps were subsequently removed, with all channels being build into the main Worldbox app.

very true sir! Instead of champagne its usually sparkling rose wine though. Instead of caviar substitute "marks and spencers nibbles" and you'd be correct.

Do VM have a channel acquisition team anymore? Remember a few years back then no channels arrived and we learnt it was due to the fact no one was even in discussion with channels to bring them onto VM due to a job vacancy that hadnt been filled...

Interesting but as the announcement on the boxplus website has now been removed, there may have been an agreement to continue on VM. These channels are widely available on streaming apps, perhaps there could be a Box Plus app on the Tivo at some point. If that happens, lets hope that the video and audio are in sync. The last time I tried to use it, channels on the Clubland AKA app were so far out of sync that it was unwatchable (this needs fixing).

If there's a vacancy I think you should apply Vince!

Any links?
They've appeared on the OFCOM licensing website, i'm assuming that they'll be coming to VM in the same way as their other channels have.

I remember the glorious summer of 2011 (?) when this board lit up with the sudden arrival of the BT sport channels. It was the best of days.

Now in 2017....nothing ever comes.

Wheres my fox news? Wheres my sky atlantic? Virgin media get these two channels and then potentially we can close these forums down as we have triumphed.
BIB except price rises.

But with Sky Sports Box Office HD set to launch on Saturday it look to MB HQ that Virgin Media has sign an new deal with Sky UK so we see more Sky Basic channels coming in the coming months.

But saying that they did sign an 5 year deal in 2014.

How ridiculous is people bothering to message you? I would be flattered by the importance they bestow on you.

Sadly there will always be a very small minority whether its on here or on social media who resort to nastiness when they disagree with somebody else's opinion.

I must admit that, when I read your original post, I thought that'll be Sky One +1 and Pick +1.

lol, not bad. I doubt the cloak room would have given you your coat back before on account of the repetition of the VM price rise jokes but I think they will be far happier now.
And there are rumours pick'n'mix might be returning to our high streets but I'm sceptical!
