Meanwhile, fans are petitioning Virgin Media to get the channel on cable - it's the biggest TV platform that currently doesn't carry the channel. With news that Virgin is transitioning its channels from MPEG2 to the more efficient MPEG4 standard, there should be enough bandwidth for the channel..

Please can someone explain what the transition to MPEG4 means. I'm confused. :erm:

What?! Another one? Or did the V6 not get the update when the old Tivo did?

The last update (for the old Tivo at least) first appeared around 6th Dec on mine, and a layout tweak to move the Recently Watched and Favourites up the screen arrived around about Dec 20th which addressed the feedback I gave them.

Nothing has been confirmed by Media Boy Sources but Media Boy HQ feel Virgin Media UK are making room for MTV CLASSIC.

We mean why launch MTV LOVE on Virgin UK Channel 318 if it was just an rebrand of VIVA and it channel was on Virgin UK Channel 317.

If we was Virgin:

Launch MTV Loves (to be called MTV OMG) on Channel 316.
Launch MTV Classic on Channel 317.
Move VH1 to Channel 318.

ALL INFORMATION ARE THE VIEWS OF MEDIA BOY HQ.

Radio Times has confirm that Sky Cinema Drama and Romance will be known as Sky Cinema Valentine from February 5th to February 19th.

Look like WE ARE getting Sony Crime 1 after all.

Radio Times and TiVo are both listing the same thing from Tuesday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

STV HD deal up soon?

When Media Boy HQ goes back so see what was on Virgin on Monday Night using TiVo we see STV HD listed on VIVA (Channel 317)

Info says "We're unable to bring you STV HD at the moment. We're working with STV to restore this service as soon as possible."

But STV HD is STILL broadcasting here in Scotland on Virgin Channel 113.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

Virgin Media's EPG has been updated again and now shows listings for Sony Crime Channel from next Tuesday so looks like Sony and Virgin Media have finally come to an agreement. Nothing announced on the website but given how unprofessional everything Sony have done so far it's not surprising!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

JJ20X is reporting that Virgin Media UK has started to test ABN TV.

It will launch on Virgin UK Channel 217 or Virgin UK Channel 842.

JJ20X also think two other channels is set to launch soon on Virgin Media UK.

Does anyone know what has happened to a couple of regular posters on here JJ20x and theone2k10?
Also does anyone know if Virgin are going to roll out faster speeds than 300mb?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Calum, welcome.

I am currently on Vivid 350...I don't believe this has been given a hard sell. I'm guessing faster speeds will come

An new UHD Channel may launch in April on UK Telly.

We got others 10 (8 DNP about TV) from Theone2k10 - we do not know what to do with them.

Really? A channel could mean on demand, of course, but if this is a broadcast channel, I find that surprising. However, all good if true.

Can't imagine what channel this could be, to be honest.

It will be an broadcasting channel - nothing to do with Sky or BT.
