Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

I have no idea what website my brother visits so I have no source, but he loves his American TV and informed me the other day Park Avenue 666 has been cancelled already. I will have a scout about and see what links I can find.

This is one of the best sites for keeping up with TV show news:

I don't mind Park Avenue 666 or Billy Connelly Route 66 either.

One man's junk is another man's treasure. Out of interest what are your favourite channels and programmes?

Chad now the Style channel has been launch on VM, does it mean you and your good lady could be on the way back to VM;)

Cheers PB, I myself do not watch a huge amount of T.V (lots of quizzes, the odd drama and comedy are about my limit) but it is gonna be nice to be able to check to see if any new shows I start to watch have been cancelled or renewed - thanks:).

I did see there is a posting dated 5/3/13 confirming Park Avenue 666 is cancelled.

I notice that the ITV 2/3/4 HD logos have been added to the bottom of the TV Listings logo sprite, too:

Might be worth keeping an eye on that in the future.

They still need to update the E! logo, both on the website and the TiVo epg, it changed back in January.

They are defined as AC-3 audio with more than 2 channels. So it looks promising, but you'll have to wait and see what ITV actually broadcast.

So why is it a big issue if it starts 101 rather than 001?

I'm not making a big issue of it, Ben. You're the ones who don't seem to think their customers wouldn't be able press 1 rather than 101, I'm merely agreeing with another poster who suggested moving all the hd channels to numbers 1-99. I'm grateful to Spiderplant for what I reckon is a much more likely reason for why it can't happen.

By the way, since I'm a customer, if I actually wanted to make a big issue of it I'd be well within my rights to do so without you asking why.

You don't need 100 to make the idea impracticable.

Wouldn't 000 to 099 actually be 0 to 99, so a departure from the 3 digit channel number policy? Or is it technically possible to have mandatory leading zeros?

Either would be possible, but not having leading zeroes means slower channel changes as the software has to wait to see if you are going to enter more digits.

And since I'm someone who comes on here as an individual, rather than an official representative of VM, I'm allowed to be interested in why what number the channels start from is worth worrying about ;)
