Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

What makes you think they would only use Virgin TV Edit if it were a permanent change? It's VM's primary editorial communications platform, they have articles about most things including temporary rebrands of channels and the limited time access to certain services on channel 100. I know they've used used the Channel Guide page and the PDFs to show 'freview' periods for channels in the past.

When I say TV Edit I mean the Channel Guide page. It's the only part of it I look at regularly, so I forgot about the other parts. Sorry.

I don't recall the Channel Guide section showing "freeview" periods previously. But if you remember them that's good enough for me.

No worries. It's actually worth checking out all the other parts of Virgin TV Edit, particularly the Your TV Week and On Demand sections. One of the better produced things from VM.

RXTV: "Expected changes to the Box Plus Network to happen in 2020".

Quote:

Meanwhile, seasonal music has arrived on the Box Plus Network family of channels, with Box Upfront (Sky 358, Virgin UK 330) becoming BoXmas and the latest channel to get a seasonal rebrand.

It's the first time Box Upfront has been given a Christmas rebrand, in a sign of a change to come at the Box Plus Network, which was acquired by Channel 4 earlier in the year. It comes ahead of expected changes to the Box Plus Network in the coming year under its new ownership.

Do anyone know WHAT 'expected changes' will happen to Box Plus Network in 2020?

I see Virgin TV Edit, once they got the graphic on the webpage fixed, confirms History 2 HD is moving to 272 along with the other, already known, number changes which are happening today.

It hasn't been updated to reflect the repackaging of the Nickelodeon channels.

Amazon Prime Video still listed on 228, but it's now on 205.

It's either an emoticon e.g. :-)

Or it's shorthand for him deleting the contents of a post (maybe he put it in wrong thread), but, as you can't delete a post, putting something, anything, to replace it as it won't allow you to put a blank post.

At least those are my theories.

I'm sure you can delete a post mate, if you go to edit a post, you get an option to delete too.
