On Demand[edit]
The channel had an on demand service which was available on satellite and cable. It offered access to a number of shows which viewers may have missed first time around.
On demand content was added to BT Vision's library on 15 January 2009. 38 hours of programming from six of the channel's shows; Extreme: Skinny Celebrities, Dirty Dancing, Living with the Cheeky Girls, Ibiza 2008 and Most Haunted were available from launch. Subscribers to BT Vision taking the TV and Value Packs were able to access the content with no additional cost; others were able to view it on a pay per view basis with prices starting at 77p.[19] Programming was removed from BT Vision on 13 January 2010.[20]
The channel's on-demand offering was revamped during Autumn 2009 as Living Player on Virgin Media.[21] Living Player offered dedicated seven-day catch-up on shows such as Ghost Whisperer and Grey's Anatomy, as well as hours of archive content previously shown on the channel. Living Player was available on PCs, and the player also offered HD programming for free to all customers on the Virgin Media's XL TV package. Original commissions were to be made available longer term.[22]
