Ive just noticed that they are keeping them on virgin media, any thoughts why they are keeping it on virgin and not sky.


This often happens, based on carriage deals ending at different times on different platforms, so this isn't unusual.

If they do continue on Virgin, it is likely to just be for a short period, until the carriage deal ends.

Per the Virgin Media EPG - Home and Health has "channel no longer available" from Wednesday (channel 287), and the same for 288 (Shed), and 291 (H&H plus one channel).

Strangely, sky is still showing EPG information past the 6th on SHED and h&h

They are still airing programmes on both the channels, on disc. shed it states on the EPG "This channel is now closed" but is still showing programmes but on h&h they have still got normal EPG info.

I literally just came on to post that! Maybe the feeds will be switched off along with Sky5*Movies at 11am along with the Sky Cinema EPG changes?

Another oddity... H&H+1 is saying “This channel has now closed” still broadcasting while the main channel is still broadcasting with EPG listings. This is a messy closedown for the books.

EDIT: Presumably as of 10am 178 (H&H), 192 (SHED) and 278 (H&H+1) have gone.

They have closed - there is a Virgin Media caption on the three channels, giving EPG numbers for three unconnected channels they carry with similar content.

Just like when the Disney Channels closed and they promoted Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network on those slides.

Yes, but at least they're promoting channels from the same company
