As part of the encryption of the master transmitter MTV Europe 1 July 1995 also encoded VH - 1 from that day its signal on Eutelsat's satellites. The parallel to ASTRA remaining 12 hour program window was shut down on the same day. From this day was VH-1 unencrypted to see for a long time only the cable network.

The former competitor VIVA by VH-1 initially created with VIVA II eleven days an equal rank program. In the meantime, gave the charge of VH -1 should be noted that a merger with VIVA Two would make sense from a financial perspective. VIVA has instead the unsuccessful approach in favor of a more progressive format, now under the spelling VIVA Two discarded.
A budget cut was in October 1997 meant that almost all moderated formats had to be canceled; a majority of the workforce was " optional ". Since pure video clip routes and U.S. formats dominated the program. Alan Bangs and Susanne Reimann, both at the time of shipment VJs 360 degrees, resisted the reformatting.
