Yes, only these are Pluto TV channels:

• CSI
• Fear Factor
• Great British Menu
• Homes under the Hammer
• Inside Crime
• Judge Judy
• Wicked Tuna
• Wipeout (but not Wipeout Xtra)

When all EPL deals was rollover due to COVID19.

Also if it was being axe on XL Pack I think Virgin would have let everyone know by now.

Thank you for your thought, and I hope you are right.

*Chat Show Channel - Ch 466
*Deal or no Deal - Ch 467
*Fear Factor - Ch 468
*Wipeout Xtra - Ch 469
*Lego Channel - Ch 470

From what you can gather, will these channels be available to TV only customers or will it be the usual case of "only available on V6 and 360 boxes"?

[TimeLord2018]

Virgin TV 360 and Stream , no mention of V6 in original press release.

I guess they might be getting added to Pluto TV based on this , I suspect CNN Fast will be added to Pluto TV at some point.

[ozsat]

CNN Fast is available on Freevee - as are some of the others on the VM list which are not on Pluto.

But the version streaming in the UK appears to all be recorded stuff - never seen anything live - and it does not match the CNN US or CNN International service.

4th. Virgin Media UK to move 5ACTION HD from Virgin UK Channel 150 to Virgin UK Channel 130.

[TimeLord2018]

Perhaps they wlll auction off these slots in 140s and 150s to see if anyone is interested specifically Sky Factual channels and Discovery channels.

[ozsat]

Or perhaps they are already allocated to channels not yet launched?

I feel Virgin may give them to Pluto Channels.

I'm not sure it would be a great idea to issue mainstream channel numbers to IPTV gateway channels. Probably better to give the a separate range.

Well Netflix and Prime video will still be on channels 204 and 205 after Tuesday.
So maybe Virgin will give iptv 200 numbers
