Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Is this just on VM, or on Sky as well?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I have just checked and it includes Sky as well

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

TV & Satellite Week has confirm that from October 1st: E! HD moves to 139. E! moves to 140 and Sky Two moves to 160. We can confirm that SKY ONE/HD AND SKY WITNESS/HD will NOT move as reported by MB HQ yesterday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Well they are a bit slow with their messaging on the screen as there has been nothing shown on our screens.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I've recorded the whole season of The Rook in UHD and it didn't seem to take up too much space. I'm hovering around the 40-50% mark with that included.

What Discovery channels are Virgin Media missing out on?

Discovery Turbo +1 - to launch on Channel 286?
Food Network +1 - to launch on Channel 296?
HGTV (Channel coming soon)
HGTV +1 (Channel coming soon)
Quest Red +1 - to launch on Channel 232?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Good spot re: Home And Health+1. I rarely notice that part on DBR. That's the number the main H&H channel is on, so that must be moving up. I'd imagine they are finally filling in that gap between Discovery and Animal Planet. Maybe they are demoting the +1s and promoting the main channels they own which are further down?

Is there a Turbo+1? If it doesn't exist I wouldn't be surprised if they axed Shed to create it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Right now:

281. Home
282. Home +1
284. Home & Health
285. Home & Health +1
286. Discovery Shed
287. God Channel
291. Food Network
292. Travel Channel

Soon?
281. Home
282. Home +1
283. Home & Health
284. Home & Health +1
285. Discovery Shed
286. Discovery Turbo (Moves from Channel 261)
287. Discovery Turbo +1
288. Food Network
289. Food Network +1
290. Travel Channel
292. God Channel

"Soon?" mean that may happen - that what Media Boy HQ is working with.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I'd see Food Network moving higher, similar to what happened to Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Maybe it will but it only been confirmed that Home and Health +1 is set to move. Outwith the HD Channels being moved.

Discovery has got the following brands in the Factual & Lifestyle:

-Discovery HD
-Animal Planet
-Discovery Science
-Discovery Turbo
-Discovery History
-Home
-Home & Health
-Discovery Shed
-Food Network
-Travel Channel

But on Sky the Discovery brands are as followed:
-Discovery Channel
-Food Network
-Home
-Discovery Turbo
-Animal Planet
-Discovery Science
-Discovery Home & Health
-Travel Channel
-Discovery Shed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Given 253, 254 and 255 have been empty for a while and there will be even more gaps in 250s when the HD switches/SD closures occur, as I was suggesting earlier I'd say there is a decent chance main versions of Discovery-owned channels Home, Food Network, Home & Health, Shed and the like further down would jump much further up, leaving the +1s all moved to fill the 280s.

The Sky/Comcast number changes coming up have demoted the +1s, so it's more likely now that this could happen than before these Sky/Comcast changes were known.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Media Boy HQ has been thinking about your view @Aguero9320 we now think you are maybe on to something:
