There are none that I know of and given how long Virgin's been running now, they'd probably be broadcasting them already if they were going to.

Dont you think its a little strange that they dont show them shady as even freeview now has a few babe channels.Are they assuming that there isnt a market for them on virgin media as im sure that is way wide of the mark or are they scared to offend anyone.Seems a strange stance to take when many other platforms are showing them.So much for their customer choice.
Oh and by the way i dont have virgin media but if i did a strong letter of complaint would be sent to them regarding this issue and their stance on adult entertainment.

Well it would a guess on my part Gun, but I imagine that it's probably by choice that they don't provide the Free To View channels. I surmise this purely because they have had ample opportunity to include them, but haven't.

Maybe it's got something to do with lack of encryption on BS, BB, etc, whereas I think they do provide access to other adult channels by that method. I don't have Virgin, so someone may be able to confirm that's true or not. Having said all of that, parents have the option of setting a PIN to protect younger viewers, assuming that's their issue with them. That is after all, what Sky does.

Of course, it could be a purely fiscal decision on their part as opposed to anything above.

Quick question, why are babe channels available on freeview and sky, but not virgin media?

that is a very good question, i was recently looking after a relatives house for a couple of weeks and they have virgin media, i just thought you would av to retune the box and it would find the channels but i didnt know how to i didnt want to fuck it up.

My guess in regards to virgin media is purely through choice and the company probably just doesn't want to be associated with any of the channels whatsoever. For me I find that very unfair especially if a lot of people are perhaps situated in a listed building that does not allow for any satelites to be put up. Ways round this include installing a squish dish which also picks up astra and hotbird signals.

So, no free to view babe channels on Virgin. But does anyone know what encrypted adult channels they have?

(For what its worth, back when Virgin ran shops, there used to be both Virgin and HMV shops locally selling DVDs. Virgin didnt have an Adult, section, HMV had both Adult and Foreign sections. Guess which went bust).

I reckon Virgin media is just implimenting self censorship, all I can say is I'm glad I have Sky tv.

Can somebody please tell me if the babe channels ie, 920, 921 etc are only available on sky satellite tv and not available with virgin media. The reason I ask is that I am coming to the end of my contract with sky and was thinking of taking a package with virgin media but I wish to still have these channels available to me.

Many thanks.

Ivor.
