With Good Food set to go Media Boy HQ feels that Quest Red will close and Discovery will keep Really as Discovery has put Really before Quest Red on the EPG of both Freeview and Sky.

Discovery channels are as following on Freeview:

12. QUEST
17. Really
37. DMAX
38. Quest Red
41. Food Network UK
42. Home

Main Discovery channels appear in this order on Sky:

-Discovery Channel
-TLC
-Food Network
-Really
-Quest
-Quest Red
-Investigation Discovery
-Home
-Discovery Turbo
-Animal Planet
-Discovery Science
-Discovery History
-DMAX
-Discovery Home & Health
-Travel Channel
-Discovery Shed
-Good Food

Of course, it should be mentioned that Sky's negotiations with VM to invest in its new network may increase the likelihood of a VM getting a certain Sky channel. ;) And I'm not talking about a shopping channel. :D

Sky Newspapers HD:D:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Given Quest Red is their 3rd highest rating FTA channel and Really their 2nd I can't see them axing Quest Red, I believe the shows are different even if the genre is the same.

I added Good Food below even though it's a Pay channel, as an interesting comparison.

Last month available's BARB ratings (July)
Good Food 0.10
Food Network 0.23
Home 0.27
DMAX 0.43
Quest Red 0.54
Really 0.68
Quest 0.91

Never going to happen.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I wouldn't rule out Sky investing in VM's new network. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

VM are too greedy with their network they won't let anyone else on it if they was to let SKY in then it'd open the doors for others so won't happen.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Is it a quality newspaper channel or is it one of made up back of a fag packet channels.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Seeking to monetise your investment isn't greed. The cable network isn't a public good.

Letting Sky on wouldn't open the door to others - it'd be a commercial agreement like any other.

Thay are obviously both seeking a deal to put pressure on BT's Openreach.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Be interesting will be very expensive for SKY and VM one feels and we all know the result of that.

According to the September Channel Guide, Amazon Prime Video (228) and Virgin TV Ultra HD (205) are swapping EPG positions.

Amazon Prime Video: 228 > 205
Virgin TV Ultra HD: 205 > 228

The other Virgin TV Ultra HD on 999 is no longer listed so may be getting removed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Giving the VM UHD channel a less easy to remember number is just weird.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

And a less prominent EPG slot too...
