Thanks for compiling the list. I'm pretty much with Old Boy on this except I think VM should try and get MUTV HD and DAZN1 HD. That being said, having MUTV in SD is probably less painful for their long-suffering supporters than HD!

Talk Radio is NOT on Digital TV.
All channels I would like is broadcasting on Sky, Freeview or Freesat right now.

No point to the +1 channels anymore with every STB having the ability to record now.

If the “benefit” of streaming is you only pay for what you watch (not actually true, but I’ll grant this latitude briefly) why should Virgin include them in their packages?
Anyone can buy a fire stick, a Roku or cast from their phone.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Save space the drives can store a lot especially as +1 channels are usually SD only and take up very little space.

This is not correct, in fact some have no capability to record at all.

Bauer are kickstarting their Rayo platform https://hellorayo.co.uk/ where they can entice listeners to subscribe to their premium stations. Global seems to be doing the opposite, although they have their own platform, they are still maintaining a presence for their services on other platforms. As for News UK Broadcasting (formerly The Wireless Group) and Talk Radio, they still need to show their hand.

If anyone still has a Virgin or Sky box that can't record then it must be from the dark ages.
