More binge channels, but why?

[NinjaMeerkat]

Whats going on with all the binge channels from ch220 to ch299? There's now 25 of them! Does anyone actually watch them? I can't even filter them out.

There's 26 on the 360 ch220 to ch254 none of these channels I would want to watch but if I did it would be nice to be able to see some program information so you don't have to select the channel to see what series, episode etc is actually on. I read somewhere that most of them are linked to Pluto TV so why not just watch them on the Pluto app.

The Pluto app was added into the FAST EPG as a shortcut (now removed) but only 3 actual Pluto channels have been integrated into the EPG that link directly into the Pluto app :-Ch 225 - 5Cops, Ch 226 - Catfish, and CH 246 - CSI: New York.

You do need to use the Pluto app to view the remainder of their live linear channels

The other FAST EPG shortcuts ( as at 1st May 2024) belong to

They are a lot cheaper to run than broadcast channels, but you can still get them on a TV platform. Freeview is going the same way now (eg. Together TV is part time on broadcast, but full time on streamed), so an internet capable TV is a must if you want all the Freeview content available.

Can anyone with a V6 box get these FAST channels to load?
