Yes, I received it yesterday.
However, does anyone know if the Lionsgate+ app is to be added? It is listed as avaiable on the Lionsgate+ website via Virgin TV but its not added on my 360.

They rebranded the Starzplay section pretty much immediately to Lionsgate+. Yes, I know that's not the same thing.

Thanks I didnt know that. Only just found that section now buried away in Box Sets and Movies.
But, their own website is stating 30 day free trial of app with Virgin TV. This is bad implementation on Virgins part.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
There was £1.99 monthly subscription offer on VirginMedia when it was Starzplay.
It launched on SkyQ this week which is likely why new users are getting the free month offer.
Even though the app on on SkyQ - you still have to go to Lionsgate+ for a subscription or free access.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
ITV2/3/4 HD are all going FTA on Sky tomorrow 1st November.
Surely going to happen on VM too, you'd think.
Heads-up from @cleanfeed_ttvr on Twitter.

Your mum should be getting them. ITV2-ITV4 HD have been available on the Sky & Virgin streaming boxes from launch, which is why i'm not too surprised that they've gone FTA on satellite.
These channels have now been moved down to the lowest pack, thus further devaluing the top pack.

The TV360 and Stream lineups aren't the same as I understand it, they just both use the Horizon platform.

Indeed. Richard is incorrect on this.
https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-t...-channel-guide
Player and Mix customers with a V6 or 360 box do not receive ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD, ITV4 HD and ITVBe HD. On the Mixit TV package they are available with an extra charge in a Personal Pick.
