Virgin 1 on Freeview

[secsee]

Can anybody tell me why Virgin 1 TV made such a big thing about going 24hrs. on freeview about
2 months ago and now it seems they have gone backwards, I turned on freeview this morning and on
the Virgin channel it stated ''Programmes start at 9am.''

I can only get Virgin 1 + 1 on my built in Freeview and it says No Information Available right up to 7pm when the X Files is on. : (

Hi Dothawkes 31, yes my freeview is built in to the TV as well, after the recent upgrade to freeview where
everybody needed to ''retune'' I found that I had lost some channels after I retuned, I retuned again and got them
back again but since then it now seems that Virgin has stopped 24hrs on freeview.

What Channel number do you type in to get Virgin 1 ? If it is 35 then you are watching Virgin 1 + 1 which from 6pm and is not 24 hour. The 24 hour Virgin 1 is on channel 20. I hope that helps you. :-D

I have to say Joe Shmoe that I too have this problem on freeview, channel 20 is virgin 1 but after midnight all
you get is a caption saying '' Virgin 1 returns at 09.am. I keep retuning but it's still the same so I can only asume
that freeview are going backwards.

I do not watch television that late so I was going on what was displayed on virgin 1's epg guide which shows that there are programmes on at these times. but after Sprayer's reply I tried recording a program at 4.35 am . It did not record. This morning I saw the message you have all seen. So Yes it looks as if they have cut down their hours on FreeView . I don't know why though. :-D
