As you say Virgin Media has 11 new serial numbers has been issued.

But with the Eurosport Top up channels and QVC Extra that 9 Channels.

So any of the following can happen to the two unknown channels:

A) Nothing.
B) Al Jazeera English HD and Al Jazeera HD (On new serial numbers)

C) BBC Two Northern Ireland (UK Wide) and BBC Two Wales (UK Wide)
D) Heart 90s and Heart Dance

E1) Craft Extra and Craft Extra
E2) Create & Craft HD and Ideal World HD (On new serial numbers)

F) (Two new Adults on demand channels)
G) Nick Jr +1 and Nick Jr. HD (On new serial number for Nick Jr. HD)

H) Pick +1 and Sky One +1
I) Boomerang HD and CNN International HD (On new serial numbers)

Or two from any of the following:

-Virgin Radio UK
-B4U Plus
-MUTV HD
-That's TV Gold
-POP Max
-CNBC HD
-Gemporia Craft

So I think the following will happen:

Eurosport 3 HD > On CO75
Eurosport 4 HD > On CO75
Eurosport 5 HD > (BBC Red Button 3)
Eurosport 6 HD > (BBC Red Button 4)

Anyone know if radio can be recorded on Freesat? If not, I'm sure a generic satellite receiver will suffice.

Virgin Media UK has started to play about with "Live Events" old slot on CO01.

As of July 17th the DBR Video Capture picture is showing two Purple and Black lines but is still in MPEG2 Mode.

The speculation was that, as it was only creating space for a single service, it would be for a UHF channel. The service names appearing today confirmed this. Another timing difference, digitalbitrate hasn't updated Red Button 2's sid number yet.

It won't affect BT and some others who now provide TV via Now TV anyway. Maybe VM will simply become a Now TV reseller too?

Missing Eurosport UHD on Virgin UK Channel 523 - not on TiVo boxes

VM are going to focus more on faster broadband speeds and the tv will eventually be dropped one thinks.

Difference with Disney was that most of the content they made was on other broadcasters channels, closing their own channels didn't make much difference. Sky, until they started investing heavily in their own content, broadcast a lot of content on their channels that they didn't make. Outside of Sport I wouldn't be surprised if the most popular content on Sky channels is still the stuff they get from other providers, the Sky-branded productions rarely get talked about by people I know.

As I've said on another forum, withdrawal of a significant number of channels would be a significant blow to Virgin's tv platform. Coupled with a loss of subscription income, would they really invest in supplying new boxes just to act as an income collector for Sky?

NOW is hardly on the same scale as Disney, it just doesn't have as much to offer. It would be a very risky move for Sky to stop providing their channels to third parties if the NOW provision is the only alternative.

However, this is currently a rumour from an unnamed source. I'll not worry about it unless and until the usual reliable industry sources make similar reports.

The point was that BT's boxes can actually record IPTV streams. Many viewers prefer to record and watch at their leisure rather than be restricted to the, often, limited availability of the on-demand content. I believe I've seen you make that point yourself.

Sky seem to get most of their bought in content from NBC and CBS, so an NBCUniversal / ViacomCBS merger with a combined streaming service would be a significant change to the playing field. Although combining the NBC and CBS networks in the USA isn't going to get regulatory approval.

They don't mention Sky Replay but Sky Showcase sounds like Replay in concept, even though it's getting Sky 1's slot on Satellite. So maybe Replay is being axed? Pick is basically SkyReplay+1or2Years, so isn't really needed, so it makes sense to me.

I expect you are correct, although I would point out that, as you say, the press release states that SA will remain ‘the exclusive home of high-concept original dramas’. That does not necessarily mean that Sky Atlantic will remain exclusive to Sky satellite and Now TV viewers.

However, it is probably fairly safe to assume that it will, given the history.
