Just found the following posted on the Jewellery Maker Facebook page:
Quote:
From December 28th 2021: Jewellery Maker says "It just wasn’t one of our main source where (Virgin Media) customers were tuning in so we made a business decision to stop airing on Virgin. You can still view Jewellery Maker as a Virgin Media customer if you have online services on your TV. From there you can stream live from our YouTube channel. JM"

I pay £90.50 per month, but I don't know the name of the package, they can ram their inflation-busting price rise right up their jacksy.

Thanks for that. I got my email today, £8.50 from 22 May after my fixed price ends. I currently pay £66.75, from May the discount ends, then the price will be £111.30... that's for a TV360 box, Cinema and Full house without kids channels.

It's been confirmed that 5Action will be available in HD on VM, just as Paramount Network has been since it launched.
Now that 5USA, 5Star and 5Select are available in HD on Sky Glass, is there a possibility that VM may add them too?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
It's always good news when a new HD channel arrives. The one channel that is long overdue an HD upgrade is Drama. There are lots of (repeated) programmes on that channel that I would love to watch (again) if only the SD picture quality wasn't so dire.

Has anyone else seen this "onscreen message" in England?
I can confirm it not on BBC ALBA or BBC Parliament here in Scotland. Also in Scotland we have nothing on Channel 113 so Virgin can move BBC Scotland HD to channel 113 or put BBC THREE HD on Channel 113 in Scotland and Wales.
Also I am doing an wee bit of house keeping on my blog so can I ask anyone tell me if UTV HD is on Channel 103 or 113?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
It's for England regions only and is only for BBC One HD on 108.

Thanks I did think BBC One SD England regions was being axe to make way for BBC One HD England regions to launch Channel 101.
I know Ofcom wants BBC THREE HD on Channel 108 in England and Wales by 2024.
