Virgin Media UK Add 2 More FAST TV Channels to Service
Customers using broadband ISP Virgin Media (O2), specifically those who also take a Pay TV service via one of their TV 360, Stream or v6 box platforms, may like to know that they’ve added two new FAST channels to their TV service – British Screen Classics and wedotv movies – “at no extra cost“.
The new FAST channels include British Screen Classics (Ch 450) – offering various film and TV gems originating from the iconic classic film libraries of ITV STUDIOS and STUDIO CANAL – and wedotv movies (Ch 451) – offering a contemporary film channel with a catalogue of over 500 movies across all genres.
The new channels join the existing 33 FAST channels available on Virgin TV, which include Inside Crime, Homes Under The Hammer, Red Bull TV, Hell’s Kitchen and many more.

These FAST channels are a waste of space. They nearly always worse than VHS quality because of incorrect encoding and low bit rates and sound quality like bottom of a tin can in most cases. Not just specific to VM but most other platforms like streamers too (Pluto, Tubi).
It is about selling ads not to provide an entertainment. “at no extra cost” sounds like they make you a favor lol. I just can’t understand who is watching all of those crap tv channels.
I just wish you could hide them.
