Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

It is more complicated than switching from SD to HD, which would be the situation for the start of scheduled broadcasts, changes in the other direction aren't too important. SDT linkage switches to a completely different service going in and out off-air periods, so should adapt to the parameters of that service. It is more complicated though because recordings, on both Freeview and Virgin use identifiers specific to recording and that could be an weak point with potential problems. Your experiment will be interesting but this switching has been ongoing for years with no reported problems.

Not the same mechanism but, when Virgin removes channels, if a user is already "tuned in" they can sometimes continue to watch after the channel is hidden from the EPG. Info may even show that the channel then has a completely different channel number, which is not in the normal EPG range.

I wonder if the recent problems were not related to normal switching. Did the same problem happen with viewers watching live? If there is a problem, no doubt it will be repeated.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Yes, loads of soundrops on BBC1 HD West Midlands. Been happening for about five days now. Only on 101 all other channels are fine.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

The original question was about a problem with recordings of BBC3/4.
I did 3 test recordings. They all had problems with the SD part. They skipped ahead to the HD part, which isn't really a problem. One test playback did go completely haywire in the SD part and didn't skip to the HD part. Not conclusive on the original problem, but it does demonstrate my point about potential issues of mixing SD and HD in the same recording.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

My reply was to the following, which seems to be one (or two) of your original questions. :D

Sending you forts and players for your loss;);)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Can anyone with Mix TV confirm that they can watch programmes on Discovery and Animal Planet with a 1 hour time delay (using +1) on their package, but not at the original time of broadcast (using HD) because the main feed is not available in SD. An interesting quirk of VM if the Channel Guide PDF is to be believed.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

What's VM only having the HD version of the main channel got to do with it?

What's the channel guide PDF showing?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Wait! You believe the PDF Guide? :D

HD versions should also be Mix per the subscription codes.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Virgin Media UK will move GB News HD from Virgin Channel 626 to Virgin Channel 604 ON August 11th.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Just seen on OFCOM web site that:

BT Sport 1 HD Licensee is: BT Ninety-Five Limited

Eurosport 1 or Eurosport 2 is not listed

http://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/ra...ndsat-main.htm

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Makes you wonder why that would be allowed by ofcom
Especially when the slot used to be BBC News HD, I know slot allocation is different on Virgin to the rules for Sky and Freesat EPGs

Do you think they have acquired the a lot from BBC, though I would have thought they would have shuffled BBC Parliament up one spot.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Really don't understand why people get so stressed over slot allocation . :D do people really look and give up if it's too far down a list :confused: Me have all the channels I look at in favourites , you may suggest l am missing something , but never at a loss to watch something , so don't care if I did, if you ain't seen it you won't miss it :rolleyes:

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I am certainly not stressed about it, further up is more prominent so I can see their point in wanting to be up there with BBC & Sky, but any channels that I do watch I know the number off by heart and usually have it on my favourites or indeed just speak into the remote.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Thanks!

So it's just the Channel Guide PDF being wrong, yet again, lol.

I thought it seemed pretty odd.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

whats this mean exactly MB?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

BT Sport channels was own by BT Communications

From last Monday when "BT Sport powered by EE" appeared on BT Sport before every ad break BT Sport is own by BT Ninety-Five Limited who is in own 100% by BT Communications.

I think BT will now "sell" 50% of it shares in BT Ninety-Five Limited to Warner Bros Discovery in a coming weeks to get the joint venture started.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

this makes sense! I didn't know BT were planning on keeping half ownership mind

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Yes it's 50/50 Joint Venture for now, although the new management and delivery of the Joint Venture will be led by President and Managing Director of WBD Sports Europe

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

V6 has updated software after I had to do a reboot. Anyone know what this is about?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Preparation for automatic conversion to TV 360?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I'm fairly certain they update it regularly anyway, I wouldn't expect anything major or noticeable.
That would be a PR disaster if they just sprung it on customers. They'd have to give lots of notice to do it properly.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

It certainly would, and if Virgin and Sky continue with high prices for existing customers, I can see lots of people dumping them due to the cost of living crisis.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I'm watching less and less stuff on the Virgin TV service. Most of the time it's just on as background noise so will probably get rid of it in a few months time.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Have I missed something? On top Volt package and seems I'm now subscribed to UHD Sky on demand...is this a new thing? Last time I looked, it was an extra I had to pay for.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

If you are on the top tier you should receive Sky UHD on-demand content. I was missing out on this but a kind mod over on Virgin Media Community sorted this for me. The Sky content is UHD but not HDR.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Didn't happen. Maybe the payment didn't go through.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Now set to happen on August 24th.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

As you well know, MB is putting his life on the line by leaking such info ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

The disrespect shown to MB is just baffling. Like why type up posts like the above? What does it accomplish?

I've been following MB since he joined here in 2006 and his posts made me sign up in 2007. Thats 16 years of posts! He's a top guy in my eyes and I enjoy these threads each year as we discuss the never ending possibility of Sky Atlantic, or the stunning arrival of BT Sport at the last minute or all the discussions on HD versions of channels. Its been a bloody good laugh if you ask me as well as interesting!

So thanks Media Boy and if you can't share a source just yet thats fine. Better to keep good sources happy in the long run.

If you haven't got anything good to say either why not just put the smart phone down and let the rest of us enjoy hopefully another 16 years! God knows where we'll be then!

It's unrelated to the GB News divestment, so probably not. There's always the CNN channel on Rakuten which should be available on many Smart TVs and streaming devices.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I was not talking about next week but later on when both Warner Media and Discovery old deals are up.

I see that Channel 4 HD is going UK Wide from August 31st on Sky. But still to see any info on them launching on Virgin Media.*

*Channel 4 HD only have a London area HD Channel right now on Virgin Channel 141.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I know but I think there will have been reasons for the CNN removal which, probably, won't be obvious to the general public. The planned streaming service collapsed and that probably increases the chances of it returning eventually.

There are actually several regional versions of 4HD on Virgin and have been since the London area changes. As C4 hasn't previously played out the regional HD advertising macro versions, other than London, Virgin has fed the London version into all of its regional 4HD versions. All they need to do is switch the feeds, which should be no more complicated than switching the feeds for various channels after the incident at Red Bee. If Virgin has access to all of the new regional playout feeds, there is no reason why it shouldn't change at the same time as Sky. Unlike Sky, we won't be seeing "tests" as the regional "services" were set up a long time ago. In theory, the feeds could also be switched to the existing BBC B multiplex on Freeview. It might be easier though for Freeview to delay until the changes to fully regionalise BBC B have been completed. That way the correct regions of BBC 1 HD, ITV HD and 4HD could all arrive at the same time. The obvious change on Virgin would be the move to the 104 EPG slot in all regions.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I quite like NBC News its replacement even though its the internet version of its news channel and not its main news channel i believe?

Why is CNN free on Rakuten but not anywhere else?

Still want Fox News as its hilarious. The clips on the john oliver show are hilarious

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

It's also on Sky.

As an update to the above post regarding 4HD. An additional service will be required for Wales, I noticed that SID 10254 is for Virgin networks in Channel 4's South (including Wales) advertising macro region. In order to use EPG channel 108 in Wales, an extra Service ID would be needed. It could be useful, for anyone interested in tracking such information, to watch for any changes on digitalbitrate. Look for a renumbered or additional version of Channel 4HD popping up on the Welsh version of transport stream 102. [https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.p...e=209&lang=en]

That's what he is saying. In Cardiff you will have the London Advertising Macro Region. When Channel 4 eventually makes the correct advertising region available in HD, it should move to 108 and replace the SD version.

---------- Post added at 23:43 ---------- Previous post was at 23:30 ----------

The funny thing is, I've been noticing that some of the so called "news" sites have been breaking news shortly after it has been disclosed on forum sites. I'm not saying they lift their information from online speculation but occasionally it seems to prompt them into researching something they would otherwise have missed.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Media boy is a top guy! I respect the work he does too.

I'm intrigued about the next big sports rights to come up. Does anyone have a website with key dates? I know the EPL got auto renewed last season for the same amount due to covid?

Would be intrigued to see foreign football rights/F1 etc

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Get mine by email. They word it as if they are doing you a big favour, when in reality their regulator required them to do it in an attempt to prompt customers to stop Virgin ripping them off.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

At least you got one. Sky seem to be opposed to it and have not been doing it - they believe they are exempt.

https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...fications.html

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Very interesting. I imagine that Virgin don't like sending them out either, so will be watching to see if the outcome of any legal review could also apply to them.

Sky must think that this requirement will seriously damage their profits if they're prepared to take on their own regulator over the matter!

I think it's also on Freesat.

From what I can gather, the only platform that has not seen CNN return to it after it was removed a year ago is Virgin Media.

It's not on Freesat. You can manually tune it in, but they aren't paying to be on the EPG.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Most people will do that even those who watch live and sit through the adverts would be hard pressed to notice if they had the correct regional feed or the London feed. I've already said elsewhere that Virgin could have, in theory, already switched to the correct regional playouts for the 141 HD service. Who'd even notice the change?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Sure, but the point is is that Freesat users can access CNN should they wish to do so by manually tuning it in.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Can, but likely won't. Most Freesat users will just use the Guide, those with non-Freesat generic FTA satellite boxes, on the other hand, are more likely the sorts to have the inclination and/or knowledge to even look.

I've manually tuned in CNN, because I could, I don't actually watch it though, but I'm definitely not the average Freesat user.

Now that 5USA HD and 5STAR HD are both available on Sky Glass and BT TV, I think that VM should get them on Virgin TV next time they renew their carriage agreement with Paramount. VM already has 5ACTION HD so it will be useful to get these other Channel 5 networks in HD.
