Sorry do not know what this about ,BBC 2 is in hd on 102 in Wales

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

It's about the versions on 861 to 865.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Let not put BT Sport into a WarnerMedia and Discovery merger until it been sign off by BT and Discovery.

What will Warner Bros. Discovery own?
-Really*
-TLC*
-ID*
-Quest HD*
-Quest Red*
-DMAX*
-TLC +1*
-ID +1*
-Quest +1*
-Quest Red*
-DMAX +1*
-Discovery Channel HD*
-Animal Planet HD*
-Discovery Channel +1*
-Discovery Science*
-Discovery Turbo*
-Discovery History*
-Discovery Channel +1*
-Animal Planet +1*
-Discovery Science +1*
-Discovery Turbo +1*
-Discovery History +1*
-Food Network*
-HGTV*
-Food Network +1*
-HGTV +1*
-TCM Movies HD**
-TCM Movies +1**
-Eurosport 1 HD*
-Eurosport 2 HD*
-CNN**
-GB News HD*^
-Cartoon Network HD**
-Cartoon Network +1**
-Cartoonito**
-Boomerang HD**
-Boomerang +1**

-HD Channels are also broadcasting in SD on Sky.
-* Own by Discovery right now.
-** Own by WarnerMedia right now.
-*^ Part own by Discovery right now.

Bar the following names I think all other channels will stay the same as now:

-Really will become Quest Sports (something like Freesport)
-Things like Deadwood will move to Quest (No sports)
-Really shows will move to Quest, Quest Red, DMAX and HGTV
-Discovery History and Discovery Science may merge into one channel.

-Turbo may get axe.
-Cartoonito +1 and Cartoonito HD may launch using Turbo slots on Sky.

-What will happen to GB News - will Discovery sell their share?

This post is just my own views but Warner Bros. Discovery will be looking it their channel list to merge or close some brands to make even more money.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I thought the op meant TCM itself was Deadwood. Deadwood the TV Show is owned by ViacomCBS was made by Paramount Network Television at the time for HBO, it has been shown on CBS Action in the past.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

oops :beer:

Deadwood was shown on TCM a last time I watch TCM.

Even my late Dad stop watching when Film4 launch.

Discovery shareholders to vote on Warner merger on March 11

https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2022...r-on-march-11/

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Quite the imagination MB.

I suspect that they'll run the channels as they are short-mid term, no changes to remit, then slowly close a few channels (especially the +1s) and encourage viewers to find that content on their streaming services, leaving maybe a fifth of those channels remaining to cater for those who won't or can't use their streaming services or for which the content needs broadcast reliability e.g. sport. But that's a way down the road.

I've never understood the point of DMAX, it never seemed to have a point given the rest of the Discovery portfolio, Pay and FTA.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Bar the following names I think all other channels will stay the same as now:

-Really will become Quest Sports (something like Freesport) - it won't as it's quite a popular channel.
-Things like Deadwood will move to Quest (No sports) - they won't
-Really shows will move to Quest, Quest Red, DMAX and HGTV - maybe yes
-Discovery History and Discovery Science may merge into one channel. - they won't

Those are my views based on the BT/Discovery situation.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Since Discovery completes a Scripps acquisition on March 6th 2018 a following has happen:

-On April: 1st 2019: Discovery got £172m from BBC Studios and Good Food, Home & Really when BBC Studios wanted to break up UKTV.
-Summer 2019: Discovery signs new deal with Virgin Media.
-On September: 10th 2019: Discovery merge Good Food channels with Food Network.
-On September: 26th 2019: Virgin Media drop Eurosport, Discovery Channel, Quest, Animal Planet and TLC SD Channels.
-On January 21st 2020: Discovery drop Home brand for HGTV to launch in UK and Ireland.
-On January 6th 2021: Discovery drop Discovery Home & Health and Discovery Shed brands in UK and Ireland.

All Information was found on my blog. Enjoy

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

TCM is WarnerMedia's most successful channel at the moment (according to BARB ratings). I can see Boomerang closing though, with it slowly winding down and with the content split between Cartoon Network and Cartoonito, and Cartoonito taking Boomerang's +1 and HD feeds. Cartoonito has higher ratings than Boomerang and Cartoon Network, it's the channel that has seen the most growth, and with more original content coming, the viewing ratings will increase.

Initially after the merger, I doubt we'll see the existing Discovery channels airing much WB content, as most of the UK rights for WB shows have been sold to the likes of Channel 4 and Sky.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

All BBC SD Channels on Virgin UK Channels 861 to 865 has just been removed so it look like a following channels will launch soon on Virgin Media:

00.55 Update: Virgin Media has launch a following HD Channels:

New BBC HD Channels names are:
861. BBC One London HD
862. BBC One Scotland HD
853. BBC One Northern Ireland HD
864. BBC One Wales HD
865. BBC Two HD
991. BBC Red Button 1 HD

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I did say they were coming. ;)
Also there seems to be duplicate PIDs pointing to the same video / audio streams suggesting that these services could replace those on the regional networks in the relevant regions.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I was watching BBC One London when it happen and my TiVo Box says "847 BBC One London" when I press a up button it want to Channel 998.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

As I suggested earlier:
London, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales now get their version of BBC One HD from a reconfigured version of the new Nations streams and England and Scotland get their version of BBC Two HD from a reconfigured version of the new national BBC Two HD. The reconfigured services use channel 101 / 102 and as a result, these services have now been removed from the regional transport streams in these areas.

A number of channels will need adding back to favourites channels 101 and/or 102 depending on your location and channels 861 to 864 and 990. Have fun!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

As per usual with changes like this, any series links set up on V360 will be lost & need resetting. V6 TiVO is unaffected.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

More efficient use of space, so makes sense.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Has Virgin Media started tests for Two BBC Two HD Channels to launch? Or just to move streams.

They are on CO 56 using SID's 2511 and 2512. Test just appeared on DBR on Feb. 15th at 1.41am.

Also Media Boy Sources says that Virgin Media UK has added a "info slate added to one regional networks but at the moment it isn't on a visible EPG channel."

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

2511 is the new config for BBC 2 HD in England.
2512 is the new config for BBC 2 HD in Scotland.
Replacing 10119 & 10128. Digitalbitrate seems to be lagging behind last night's changes.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

But I see that BBC Two HD is also on 2510.

Am I right in thinking:

2511 & 2512 is for channel 102
2510 is for Channel 865.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Except the space is still there on TS 101, it just isn't being used. Maybe 101 and 102 will be combined at some point (where possible). It will only mean resetting a few favourite channels (again). ;)

---------- Post added at 13:31 ---------- Previous post was at 13:29 ----------

Yes, that's correct. (Each of the configs use the same video / audio streams but are set up for different channel numbers.)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Also maybe with BBC going HD we may get BBC Two HD Wales and BBC Two HD Northern Ireland launching UK Wide soon using 86x.

---------- Post added at 13:35 ---------- Previous post was at 13:33 ----------


But my favourite channels was fine on channel 102 - so maybe moving soon.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

It already has moved but it's possible that your box is still using a cached copy of the original version. Reboot?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Just seen it on my box - It was fine at 4am last night when I last look.

Maybe a move happen after 4am last night that why DBR did not pick it up.

Just found out at BBC One Scotland HD on Channel 101 has also moved.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Sometime before 3am actually but these changes aren't instantly picked up on boxes. They see the changes the next time they access the SI data.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I did stop looking for changes after 1.10am last night as I started to update on my blog.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Yes BBC One HD on 101 has moved in London, Scotland, Wales and NI from regional transport streams using duplicate configurations of the new BBC One HD services in the 860's. As I said in #414.

---------- Post added at 14:19 ---------- Previous post was at 14:18 ----------

Aye, the updates were done in several stages.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I can't work out why did Virgin put BBC One HD has been given slot 10 when slots are free on

C056 - BBC Two HD
Slots free - 6 to 9

C063 - BBC ONE Wales HD
Slots free - 6 to 9

C065 - BBC ONE Northern Ireland HD
Slot free - 8

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

They are all followed by SID numbers that point to the "slot 10" PIDs. As long as Virgin work with a maximum of 10 services (video streams) per transport stream it allows for extra services to be added without messing up the PID order. E.G. SID XX9 will have a vPID of 901 (if SD) or 909 (if HD) - which is Virgin's house style. A bit beyond the scope of this thread though to be honest.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

How long will recordings made from those SD BBC channels remain on the Tivo set-top box?

When BBC Four in SD was removed, the recordings were available for a year. Will it be a year for these channels as well?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

You got 90 days to watch - unless told by Virgin.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Why on earth would any one really care. Can't recall ever looking out side my area for BBC .sorry if you do for anyone thinking about it I wouldn't bother ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

That's not guaranteed, the Fox channels were only retained for 68 days.

I've no interest in whether you are bothered or not. I'm just amazed that you would think that the post was meant for you. It wasn't.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I did think that afterwards. Agreed. Yay, fun! :D

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Probably not a major issue for Scottish networks though. TS 101 carries BBC One HD and BBC Two HD which, for Scotland, are now taken from the networked versions on national transport streams. Other services on TS 101 are ITV (SD) and local channels. STV opted to end carriage of SD channels and, since That's TV acquired local channels in Scotland, cable carriage has ended. So that leaves TS 101 completely empty on Scottish networks.

---------- Post added at 06:29 ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 ----------

The slate added to TS 101 on Scottish regional networks is though to serve as a placeholder. Following the recent changes, all services have been removed from TS 101 in Scotland.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

So where are a up to three STV +1 Channels broadcasting from (STV +1 still broadcast in SD) if not using TS 101?

My STV +1 Channel (From Edinburgh) is using SID number 10246.

Just log on to find a PM sent to me at 6.15am today saying a same thing to back you up.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

That would be TS 102 then, the clue is in the number. Only the basic ITV SD services were moved to TS 101 to make room for ITV HD, the +1's stayed on TS 101.

All 3 versions of STV won't appear on the same network by the way. Glasgow and Uddingston will have the STV Central (West) version. Edinburgh & Falkirk will carry the STV Central (East) version, with Dundee & Perth networks taking STV North (Dundee). STV +1 is only available as a single STV Central version across 4 networks plus the STV North version for Dundee & Perth.

I use BBC 1 Scotland when stories of interest come up as I have family there. My brother has lived in England for nearly forty years and often tunes into BBC NI for home news and other shows.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

To be honest the out put of BBC Wales is pretty poor , and the news coverage leave a lot to be desired. However l can understand why people would look , however I think as far as virgin is concerned it's more about number of channels offered :D. After all I player is available for such use .

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

If Paramount are serious about streaming as they claim, I can see many of these stations closing. IMO, certainties to avoid closure are:

Channel 5, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., MTV, CBS Reality and horror channel.

- 5SELECT to fold into 5STAR.
- 5ACTION and 5USA to merge
- Comedy Central Extra, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. Too, CBS Justice + Drama and all MTV Music channels (bar Music and Classic) all to close.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Paramount would probably have to come an agreement with Sky and AMC Networks to close their joint venture channels.

MTV channels I don't see lasting long term.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I can see that happening. I see core channels like Channel 5’s stations, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon etc. staying on for ad revenue, but those focussing on Freeview.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

5Select and 5STAR have completely different demographics. For one, the former is for oldies and the latter for the younger end. More likely they will just flat out close 5Select, they've already moved it (last year) onto a less available (tech transmission wise, not geographically) multiplex on Freeview and the viewership dropped significantly.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

True. Paramount are gonna do something big with Paramount+ looming. Most of these smaller niches and joint-venture channels will likely close.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Or just wait until existing contracts expire.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Sky have 25% stake in Comedy Central and 40% in Nickleodeon before 2005/2006 it was 50% , Surprised Sky haven't already sold their stakes in either as they have Sky Comedy and Sky Kids which apparently their unable to launch as linear channel due to their stake in Nickelodeon.


CBS channels are jointly owned by Paramount Networks UK and Australia and AMC Networks International.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

861-865 contain duplicates for everyone.

I asked the same question on VM's community forum and they said up to a year so you can see why I am confused.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

You are missing my point , set to record on BBC 1 Wales (101 )when the show returned ( peaky blinders) when looking at future programs saw it was not set to record . Checking it came out on the other number. Since looking more are as well.:confused:

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I had a similar issue with the Peaky Blinders Series Link. This series it was set to record from 864 BBC One Wales HD. I live in the Midlands.

https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...HD/m-p/4946596

Seems I'm not the only one. I believe that the Series Link was set to 'All Channels'.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

I think the (behind the scenes) channel ID codes are ranked, and what was the highest ranked of the BBC1 HD variants streams, got changed into BBC1 Wales HD on 864. Series Links set to All Channels go for the "highest ranked" stream, therefore the service on 864 as it has the highest ranked ID code on the network. It clearly doesn't work on EPG number order.

Or follow other settings in certain circumstances. Series Links set to All Channels for Channel 4 on my V6 box records from 104 despite my Series Link being set to HD If Available. By the logic of the selected options it should be recording from 141.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

The channels are in a logical order which does not match the EPG order but it doesn't really matter as the programme still records. Often get similar issues on SkyQ where a series link changes to a different BBC1 nation.
It will actually pick the one which starts first if they are not on all regions at once.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

After some playing it seems that a Series Link+ records from the highest EPG number - so would be BBC1 Wales for BBC1.

The only thing I think can be confusing is that if you set the link on channel 101 - you may expect to see it on there if you don't realise a link+ could record from another channel number instead.

Eurosport 4 HD and Eurosport 5 HD has stop broadcasting.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Just the random "placeholder" slates normally seen on inactive transport streams. The Eurosport placeholders will probably join Eurosport 6 out of the visible range eventually leaving the current slates without a a service label.


There is no point in mentioning "Peterborough", that field on DBR cable scans is never correct. Typical of the way most tuner "drivers" incorrectly read NIT data when multiple networks are present.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

Just letting everyone know as DBR was reporting on Tuesday Morning at Eurosport UHD and Eurosport 3 HD stop broadcasting on Monday Night at 8.05pm. That all.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
 

That's fair enough. You also stated that which isn't really correct. As far as "Peterborough" goes, I was pointing out that it is just a quirk of the way tuner drivers work, so there is no need for you to report that. Of course, if you prefer to report it as it is shown on DBR (regardless of accuracy), that is your choice.

In the world of tv/streaming/tech etc things move very fast you could get some information one day then the next week a new deal has been agreed which means that info changes.
My old job we were constantly having to change documents etc because of how fast things kept changing.
