This is exactly what I meant

I would love to see an new Entertainment channel launching on Virgin Media just to see where Virgin will put it.

I mean with Horror Channel +1 now added on the final Entertainment channel number (Channel 202).

Will Virgin just use up all the channels that do not broadcast anything*?
Or Will Virgin have an Entertainment over spill at Virgin Channels 360 to 398?

*Channels not in use are: 119, 120, 141, 159, 161, 162, 163, 164, 179, 185, 186 and 199.

Only two channels has been confirmed or rumoured as soon to be in uses.

159. For all Local TV Channels - if they want to launch on Virgin (Confirmed by London Live owner).
199. FOX + - rumoured as set to launch soon on Virgin Media.

This is slightly off topic but after the posts earlier about TV anytime on Android this may be of interest to Android users regarding the update to the BBC iPlayer app which now allows you to download to your device. Got it on my S3 and works well

There are problems with android, hopefully the forthcoming kitkat update, apparently "for all" will resolve some of these issues. However, there is a TiVo app for android, it has been available for some time and Virgin, issues with android aside, really have no excuse, it's poor from them.
Spot on Andy , to be fair Its not just VM Sky have had Android Sky Go users unhappy for sometime so much so their Managing Director of Product Design & Development on Sky Go issued a response to the Sky user forum which is a good read and explains android development issues.

Not really rumoured, it appeared on 199 on the TV Anywhere listings, I would say that it is confirmed.

141 could be used when Channel 4+1 HD launched. Move 4+1 SD to 141 then put the HD version where the SD one currently is.

Im going to guess 161, 162, & 163 will be reserved for BBC Two HD to move to 161, BBC Three HD on 162 and BBC Four HD on 163.

Im thinking VM will also save 119, 120, and probably 185 & 186 for Sky. Atlantic (if it ever launches) goes on 119 & 120 and Sky Bravo (if it launches and doesnt close Sky 2) could go on 185/186 or swap with Challenge

It'll be better when they add support for more devices. I can download shows on my Nexus 7 but not on my Galaxy Note 10.1 :rolleyes:

@ocav

Base on that I now think the following may happen:

141. Channel 4 HD
142. Channel 4 +1
143. E4
144. E4 +1
145. E4 HD
146. More 4
147. More4 +1 or More4 HD
196. More4 HD (If More4 +1 moves to channel 147)
161. BBC Alba
162. BBC Two HD
163. BBC Three HD
164. BBC Four HD
179. Pick TV
180. Pick TV +1

All info on this post are just rumours and has not been confirmed by Virgin Media in anyway.

So brothers and sisters do we see a day when all channels on VM will be HD (except the radio channels of course not a complete numpty btw :-)). I bow to those with superior technical knowledge and apologise if I'm barking up the wrong forum so to speak. Oh and btw Media Boy and all other people on here who get news on new channels keep up the great work

Well, personally speaking Bayonet I'd like to think so. In fact I raised the issue recently in this thread http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...hering-sd.html
I thought some interesting points were made, have a look and see what you think.
