Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Perhaps I'm being quite naive here, but I can't see any rhyme or reasoning behind half of those channel moves. It looks as though they're trying to bunch the HD channels together and the SD/+1s together but Eden throws that theory out the window I think.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It's a mess really, they should have introduced a remap feature where choosing a sd channel will actually show the HD version when the feature is enabled. Does sky work like this?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Only on some channels

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I think the problem with that is that not all HD channels are simulcast with their SD counterpart, sometimes the content actually differs (The BBC HD channels are a good example of this).

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Were ;)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

BBC1 HD still doesn't transmit the local news bulletin, you just get a placeholder

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is it just me or has Watch, Alibi and all other UKTV channels been moved to the M+ pack? As i can now watch these channels

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Yes, they have

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Do you know if this is permanent or just a promotion?

Do you know if this is permanent or just a promotion?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Was just about to say this.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It's for good

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Seems odd to put Alibi HD at 200.

There needs to be a major reorganisation of the 100 group as it is crowded and a mess in places and there are still potential channels to be added, especially HD ones.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Thats a bit wierd i cant find any mention of this anywhere!

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It probably wont get mentioned for a while, Virgin didnt tell anyone for about 2 weeks when MTV HD & Nick HD launched. Ben is VM Staff, and it is probably the most reliable on the entire forum.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Maybe they are. They moved Good Food & Eden to SD/+1/HD, which is different to the way they do other 3 channel blocks. Having the HD version on the end (or far away) means that if they do merge SD & HD, the +1 is on the next number.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Just noticed how bad the L Pack is now;

Sky Livingit (Sky Entertainment and TalkTalk £5 Boost)
Gold +1 (Sky Ent)
Comedy Central (Sky Ent)
Comedy Central +1 (Sky Ent)
E! (Sky Ent)
DMAX (Sky Ent)
True Entertainment (Freeview & Freesat)

Also stuff on the XL pack like Fox that are on Sky Ent or TalkTalk £10 channels, they really should sort them out.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It is up to VM how to package channels not ape competitors. They probably will amend the packs further so let's see...

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

They are now there 547-550

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Just for the record, the following channels appeared on Virgin Media this morning.

529 ESPN
530 ESPN HD
547 BT Sports 1
548 BT Sports 2
549 BT Sports 1 HD
550 BT Sports 2 HD

All channels are available at no extra charge on the XL pack.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I use Freesat for my main TV but I have Virgin Media in my Bedroom, I have not used it for some time and when I switched it on. It says my card is not activated when I go to change channels. I only have M TV. included in my package. but it is a nuisance when this comes up, I just press OK and it goes away. If I phone Virgin up will I have to pay to activate the Box. It is not a Tivo one just the HD.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

This is the change log thread, please open a new thread to discuss this, however if you are paying for the box, no you should not be charged.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Thanks Was not sure where to post ;)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I wonder why it isn't on 159 next to Fox and Fox HD?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Either there is a reshuffle ahead or there is something going in that slot. Based on Sky Livingit+1 being on 160 I guess they have saved it for possible arrival of Sky1+1.

(And before anyone says "oh we are not getting it", virgin will be forward thinking for the future when we may get it. Hence why 119 and 120 are being left free)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Sorry to burst bubble but this has been answered before - reason on 199 is because 159 is already allocated for Local TV channel and only certain regions receive it.

Still silly though that VM couldn't just swop over the numbers!

With hindsight, I realise that I had seen that posted somewhere before. However, maybe 199 is a better number for local TV if it's not too late to migrate after the launch of Estuary TV!
