Also several Paramount owned SD channels were also removed afterwards in January.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
We all remember the original Sky Sports UHD on VM Press Releases a couple of years ago.

If this happens I can see this attracting a subscription charge.
It's basically Freeview, so people would be better of using Freeview itself ot Freesat and using Now TV for the pay channels.
Could be useful for those who cannot receive Freeview or Freesat to consider the Sky or Virgin streaming offerings though.
I am currently aware of yet another Virgin mess that they've made with a stream installation. The guy paid for the box, they tried to charge him extra for postage (which was hithero not mentioned, so he refused to pay it). He is now in a situation where Virgin are refusing to activate the box.
Can anyone with any ISP get a Sky Stream box and is there an upfront and ongoing charge?
