Sadly, one channel is also leaving the service this month.

A number of channels get a lick of paint in March too so look out.
It’s important to stay up to date with the latest changes so you don’t miss your favourite shows.
Especially as channel numbers can sometimes move around too.
Here are all the Virgin Media TV channel launches, changes and closures to be aware of in March.
VIRGIN MEDIA CHANNEL LAUNCHES
One new channel is launched on Virgin Media in March.
DAZN Women’s Football includes coverage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
It’ll also show women’s Liga F matches, as well as the Saudi Women’s Premier League.
Virgin Media says it’s the first UK pay TV platform to offer the DAZN Women’s Football channel through their set-top boxes – though anyone can access it for free on a popular alternative service.
Virgin Media customers receive one new channel
Here are the channel numbers you need to know as well as their launch dates:
March 1
DAZN Women’s Football – 554
VIRGIN MEDIA CHANNEL CLOSURES
Unfortunately, one channel will disappear from Virgin Media boxes this month.
Young kids station Tiny POP is going digital only, so it won’t be on any traditional linear TV platform – this not only means the channel is disappearing from Virgin Media but also Sky, Freeview and Freesat.
Fortunately fans can still stream it online via the following alternatives:
LG Channels
Netgem
Samsung TV Plus
YouTube
POP Player
