According to MTV's website, MTV Classic will be returning to Virgin Media (CH 321), though it doesn't say when: http://www.mtv.co.uk/channels/mtv-classic

Unfortunately that website has always listed 321, it was never updated when the channel was removed.

So that's what channel 286 is for , i would never have guessed Ginx TV.
Any news on Universal HD launching soon ? If Sky did have 3 year exclusive deal then it has now expired. |

Lifetime will launch this autumn. http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2013/07/life...-damages-more/ I wonder if History HD and CI HD will launch on VM at the same time as they have renewed their carriage agreement with A+E recently. |

Am I the only person who is sick of the constant moaning about the new channels virgin are providing? Some people will never be happy until Sky Atlantic gets here but could they for the sake of everyone else, stop the bitchy comments!! If you don't like the new channels that's fine but others do. I'd take more music channels over sky Atlantic, I'd take +1 channels over sky Atlantic, in fact I'd take shopping channels over sky Atlantic!!!!
There rant over 😤 |

These channels are absolute dross.
The others might be dross to you but i'm sure plenty of people will appreciate them. To get the good channels you have to have bad channels too so VM get more money enabling them to go and get your precious Sky Atlantic (if it ever comes on vm). I'm with another poster the moaning about new channels is getting boring. Don't like the channels don't watch them - simples. As a gamer i personally am pleased to see Ginx.tv i personally don't like sky1 but i bet there are people who do like it and are pleased it is part of vm. Everyone has different taste in tv and VM are obviously trying to cater for everyone. |

I like the new channels. Well, Food Network and Travel Channel.
I don't really want Sky Atlantic but there's nothing wrong having more channel. It means more variety and more choice ![]() Get BT Sports, VM or I will go

Those new channels are okay, but half of them are FTA channels on other platforms so to bang on about them on the XL package is stretching the value for money a bit far...
... and i am still at a loss as to why they put MTV Music which is almost identical to MTV Hits, but do not include MTV Classic ... which is unique as a music channel (and no, its not like Vintage or Magic) |

It hardly has any classic songs on it. It's slow to navigate and I for one can't be bothered to sit and pick songs. I prefer having a channel I can stick on and leave. |

The Travel Channel is about the only channel I've wanted to see added to Virgin for literally years now, just because it shows Globe Trekker which is probably my all time favourite travelogue programme.
Having years of episodes to catch up on is going to be TV gold in our house - so very happy to get this finally.

If I get Sky Atlantic then great, they've been showing reruns of ER and I'd love to watch that again. Same with BT Sport - if we get it on XL then fab, if not then it's not a problem. |

Back to the days of second rate TV offering There is very little of quality that we don't get. Sky Atlantic is the only one left on my list now. As for losing ESPN, clearly you believe that we will not be getting the BT Sport channels. Let's wait and see, shall we? |
