Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

RXTVlog have put up a BBC3 page for apparently all platform numbers.
https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/bbc-three-...-it-on-your-tv
VM is 107 in all regions for BBC3.

I can't find an official source to confirm them.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

A BBC FOUR HD work has been done.

So all TV360 viewers can now start to reset their series links.

Here is Scotland a SID for BBC FOUR HD is now 2316.

Ofcom says that Comcast wants CNBC (UK) Limited to run NBC News Now here in a UK and not Sky UK Limited.

NBC News Now: http://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/ra...nbcnewsnow.htm

So unless Virgin Media and CNBC are in talks right now it look like NBC News Now will not be on Virgin Media from launch.

I have been thinking more about BBC FOUR HD new channel number in Scotland and Wales and now think any of a following may happen:

Plan A) Ofcom says S4C need to be in Top 8 on the EPG in Wales - if true a following may happen. From last weekend.

108. BBC FOUR HD - Not in Wales
108. Channel 4 - Wales only
113. BBC Scotland HD - Scotland only
120. BBC FOUR HD - Wales only
120. BBC ALBA - Scotland only
120. ITVBe +1 - Not in Scotland or Wales
162. ITVBe +1 - Only in Scotland and Wales

Or Plan B)

157. BBC FOUR HD (Scotland and Wales - But Ofcom want BBC FOUR HD in top 24 of Virgin Media EPG by 2024.)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

For England and Wales the VM link, seems to suggest that only BBC1 SD series links are affected.
If people are concerned about their series links, they can always set them to "all channels", and readjust them after the changes.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

That is not available on the 360 -only 360 customers have to reset their links.

And only Engliand is changing - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have had their own HD for some time.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

If only BBC1 SD is to be affected, then change them to 861(BBC1 London SD).

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

No, you just have to reset them on ch 108; then the series links will work again, including when the numbers change.

@RichardCoulter I think BBC One London SD will carry on broadcasting on Virgin Channels 851/861. (Not yet confirmed)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

That link says BBC Three HD will be on 157 in Scotland and Wales , Guessing they aren't allowed to move BBC Four outside the Top 24 EPG slots.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Oops I mix read the link - due to BBC THREE being after BBC FOUR

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Leaves us 18 months to speculate where it's going in the Top 24

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Link also says that BBC FOUR HD will NOT move to channel 108 - Not in Scotland or Wales - until February 1st.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I mentioned BBC THREE going to 157 in Scotland and Wales some time ago but there has still been speculation about it going to other slots. :D

108 will probably have an info slate for a few days, so the new config's of BBC FOUR could stay on 107 for a few days. After that, BBC FOUR now has a separated config for each nation, so could, potentially stay on 107 in, say, Scotland & Wales but move to 108 in England and N. Ireland.

Who knows what will happen to the SD and +1 channels in the top 24 over the next few months? Perhaps Virgin already has a slot, or range of slots, earmarked for removal / change.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Do you know why Virgin has got 4 SID for both BBC Three and BBC Four?

When they only need an new copy for BBC Four and two for BBC Three.

I mean they only got two SID'S for ITVBe +1, BBC Scotland HD and S4C HD?

I was just reporting what both RXTV and Media Mole was reporting yesterday so I am sorry for any in convenience this may cause.

---------- Post added at 13:28 ---------- Previous post was at 13:25 ----------

BBC Three HD can be in top 24 if Virgin really wants to do it:

107. BBC THREE HD (All areas)
113. BBC ALBA (Scotland only)
120. BBC FOUR HD (Scotland and Wales only)
162. ITVBe +1 (Scotland and Wales only)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Extra configs for flexibility I guess. My first thought was do they really need that many? But 4 configs allows them to move the channels around in each nation to accommodate BBC Scotland and BBC Alba in Scotland, S4C in Wales. With TG4 wanting a higher slot in N Ireland, maybe Virgin are also taking this into account?

RXTV and Media Mole were also responsible for some of the speculation about an early launch of BBC ONE HD regions on all platforms a while ago. That was also incorrect.

No need to apologise. :D

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I have no issues with SD or HD - I was comparing 360 and TiVo.

I don't see the point of SD if there is HD - my point is you can only reset links on the 360 for an active programme.

So it is a task which will take months - and needs no action on the TiVo software.
