Well they'll have to fill 311 with something, could be MTV HD. Would make sense with Live HD being 310

I think we may see the following very soon:

182. MTV HD
183. MTV +1
184. Comedy Central +1
185. Comedy Central Extra
186. Comedy Central Extra +1
199 or 833. BET: Black Ent Tv
200 or 834. BET: Black Ent Tv +1

310. MTV LIVE
311. MTV LIVE HD
312. MTV CLASSIC
314. MTV MUSIC
711. Nickelodeon
712. Nickelodeon HD
713. Nickelodeon +1
714. Nick Jr.
715. Nick Jr. +1

Channel numbers may not be right or Virgin are just moving MTV to an new channel number on Wednesday.

I bet someone jumped the gun at VM... probably been told to take it down until an official announcement is made.

I think it is VM playing stupid games again. VM know that many sports fans will move over to Sky or BT to get these channels.

It would be suicide for VM not to get these channels.

Really can't see why?? Sky sports will still show more and why move to pay yet more money out.personally don't care if we get them or not


And why move to bt,there choice of channels is worse than vm

You don't need to. You can move to BT for just internet and phone.

Sky is cheaper than Virgin for Sky Sports too.

That BT have the 18 best games of the season is reason to want it:

utd v city
che v ars
ars v spurs
new v utd
etc...

@harry

Yes I meant Sky tv and bT BB.

We cancelled virgin last week and are getting sky tv with bt phone and bb.

We did it to save money (£580 to be precise due to offers and such) but a helpful consequence was BT Sport.

It would be cheaper to have phone & internet with Sky, but then when you factor in bt sport it's actually £5 cheaper to have bt phone & internet.

But the new name will not be Zee Classic but will be called Lamhe (Following info from BizAsia):

http://www.media247.co.uk/bizasia/ex...e-cafe-in-june

It does seem odd that Zee launched Zee Cafe on VM, whilst knowing of the impending changes. I'd have thought it would have been more sensible to have launched Lamhe from day one :confused:

Indeed, it's never a good idea to count your chickens before they are hatched...

VM may not have any choice in the matter if BT decide not to offer them the channel or offer it on unsustainable and unrealistic terms.

Not quite - in 18 rounds they have the first choice of game - which includes some bank holidays and midweek rounds.

They have the 18 best games out of 38 "matchdays".

That is reason to want BT. It's no longer the scraps
