All 3 mutated into other entities. One merged with Sky, 3D is making a bit of return with phone apps and VR headsets, and the ITV Digital monkey became a tea brand mascot. :D

207 is a +1.

I've been looking through my house's Favourites, and, as I suspected, the renumbering has make very little difference. Since we moved from Tivo to a V6, a while back now, roughly coincided with us pruning the +1s away so today's changes only made minor difference. Mostly it has grouped genres into logically similar genre groupings a little better, mostly in the Discovery part of the lifestyle category.

So although it looks big and complicated, today did very little. Though it needed done in my opinion.

I think the HD swaps from last week will change our viewing habits more as we didn't watch too much Discovery (250) or Animal Planet and previously waited for Discovery shows to appear on Quest HD. Certain channel's programming benefits more from HD than others. Not that that stops us watching SD, even genres that benefit from it, as likes of LoveNature SD gets regular viewing.

Any updates on the Virgin Media-Viacom debacle yet?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

None..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Well 5 MTV channels got moved down onto Mix tier and 2 to Fun tier on the 1st October when all the number changes happened.

I don't think that sort of action could have been done without some agreement being made. It's just not been made public.

Most agreements don't get made public unless they can't come to an agreement. It's usually just the Sky renewal that regularly gets announced.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
