I was just flicking through my channels and Formula E was on 996 but it was showing NHK World, it's disappeared now.

As per MB, VM are currently testing:

- An app called 'hayu'.

- 'Formula E'. It's not yet known if this is an app or a linear channel.

The service will only be available to Tivo customers and appears to be app-based:
"we are able to create a new service, which we can turn live for a few hours, which no other platform is able to do."

I would say none.

As per Ben, CBBC and CBeebies Picks are available On Demand for TV XL customers with TiVo:

As per MB, some VM customers will shortly start to receive a more localised service on ITV HD channel 113:

ITV Anglia HD (East)

ITV Yorkshire HD (West)

ITV Tyne Tees HD

Correction:

ITV have confirmed that the above relates to satellite only and that ITV services on Virgin Media channel 113 will not be changing at this moment in time.

Not a new channel, but probably new to most customers' packages; Nollywood Movies moves to M+ package from 1 April.

hayu now available on channel 210 for TiVo customers only.

It's provided at no extra cost to XL customers, but will be available to customers on lower packages at a cost in the near future- probably £3.99 per month:

Indeed, instead we are given this 'reality' crap

I've decided to cancel XL to get the price back down, for me M or M+ will suffice.

It's a pity that Virgin media could not relay VH1 classics Europe here I have seen this channel superior music then our MTV channels and music ranging from the 60s to the 90s no adverts , no documentaries , no trailers just wall to wall hits , Virgin could play a blinder and put it on the red button on VH1 or run it through a TiVo app make it a cable exclusive

I'd like that myself Steven.

Ukraine Today has been removed from the Worldbox service. Viewers are directed to 1+1 to continue to enjoy Ukrainian content.

Can we trust the rest of it though if we know of one huge error on it?

The main channels between 101-105 are correct, I do not know about the rest

Only one way to check is by looking at the EPG and write your own list and compare the two

Also it did miss out BBC Three so that bit is also correct - maybe because it only stopped broadcasting recently
