In November 2008, the channel was renamed Television X FFWD (with a purple colour scheme),[8] before closing on 21 May 2009, with its electronic programme guide (EPG) slot being taken over for Portland TV's chat services Filth, Cream and Skincity.

After its renaming, a service called Television X FF (Fast Forward), which minimized non-pornographic content, was added.

In November 2008, the channel was renamed to Television X Brits (with a Union Jack colour scheme), and changed its focus to British pornography.

This split was a necessity brought about by an Ofcom ruling which banned the advertisement of an explicit website on British television.

However, the camerawork, editing, performances and bad language are modified to include explicit representations of sexual intercourse.
