Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

So where do you think VM will put Virgin1, Virgin1 +1 and any future Virgin1 HD channel? Currently VM want Virgin1 to immediately precede Sky1, 2 & 3 and I would expect that in a reshuffle they might want to group the Living channels together and closer to the Virgin and Sky channels.

I'm not sure what's happening WRT rebranding of Living2 and Living2 +1. Also, can't we do away with Virgin Central on 118 now? Don't we get all of its functionality via the On Demand menus?

I think, if they move the ITVs up so that ITV1 HD immediately follows BBC HD then everything, including Living +2 but excluding a possibly rebranded Living2 and Living2 +1, would fit before Sky 1,2 & 3.

What do you think, eh?

I think Virgin Will moved ITV2 to channel 115.

But I do have an ''ideal channel lineup'' on my blog - http://virgintvmediaboy.blogspot.com...el-lineup.html

BBC Two to air England women's Euro final live on Thursday.

The European Championship final against Germany, at 5pm at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, will be shown live on BBC2 and the BBC’s website. The broadcaster will also offer a text commentary.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Hey i have just been looking through whats on tv and there are a few things strange with it ?
1: On monday the 14th sept it shows living on 110 but all the other days it says 109?
2: Also on monday the 14th sept there is little adverts for the v+ box for all the other days following but not for the saturday or sunday?

So could this be the day that living hd is going to launch ?

Hmm! Somehow among the list of Blogs and Tweets on page one I missed that one out.

Doh! :doh: I just realised that in my calculations I left out Virgin1, +1 and a likely future HD so my plan would not have worked and the Sky channels will have to budge if VM haven't contractually tied them to 121, 122, & 123.

However, I still think it makes sense to move the ITVs up the EPG (down in terms of channel number) to be directly after the BBCs and put Living et al with Virgin1 et al and its direct competitors Sky1, 2 & 3.

What sayest you all?

There are many rumours surrounding Media Boy, many to do with his career, but un-officially its believed he currently holds a position at CI-5.
Many have assumed he took over the position of former agent George Cowley, of course when asked Media Boy, aka Mike TV as he's known in the service, responds with the stock answer of "I couldn't comment one way or the other".;)

He's the artist formerly known as TV Boy.
His superhero gift (or curse) is the ability to see the TV and Media future.
We're not sure of his underpants/tights status
He has a large MB logo on his chest (well it's an old Warner Brothers' shield turned upside down)

That's all folks!
