One of the NTL (come on.............someone has to have it: ), channels has been replaced by ITV3(??????) too, I think it was a plus channel, but can't remember it's title. It was on 118.
(What's that 118? It was on 118???

Info says: "this channel stopped broadcasting on.......and is replaced by ITV3"

Yep, it was channel 118. At least NTL seem to have been a bit more helpful than sky in informing the customer what has happened.

ITV bought Skys 49% share in Granada + and has dropped the channel so that ITV2/3 can have the transponders 118 and 119 rather than 175 and 176 so they are nearer the core channels.

Plus is now ITV3



Plus has become ITV3.

ITV3 will show your favourite Plus programming as well as Hollywood Movies and great shows from the US. ITV3 is available on Freeview, Sky, ntl and Telewest, and broadcasts 24 hours a day

Plus would like to thank all our viewers for their loyalty and support over the past 8 years.

Goodbye from everybody at PLUS.

Well, it's good they can get summat right. My set top box trips out so often, i'm thinking of fitting the lead with an on/off switch like a bedside light:

And according to NTL, it's a bug and they are trying to sort it..............for the last three months

Well they haven't so far.

Normally watch Ever Decreasing Circles with my lunchtime cuppa, but it wasn't on today.
