Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Noticed here in stoke on trent v+ gone down too 336.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Any reason given? It's disappointing that VM are actually losing some OD content when it is one of their stronger selling points.

'scuse ignorance but what is "nn012"?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

TV channels being dropped and now On-demand services! Whats going on? It seems like Virgin are going back not forward!

in Teesside V+ gone down too 336 also.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I think the HBO drop will be due to the contract with VM coming to an end and Sky having the 'exclusive' rights to HBO shows for the UK

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

in w yorks ex telewest v+ channel number 359

ps i hope we get espn ondemand

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It will be counting test channels and on some boxes it will count interactive streams.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is it correct to say then that the type of box is the differentiator and not the region? Ah, no, I just realised that we're still not all on a level playing field as some ex-TW/ex-NTL channels are not yet available everywhere. Maybe by the end of the year.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

There will always be regional differences, such as the Irish and Welsh channels.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Partly true, I think. NI doesn't have any more or fewer channels AFAIK, unless they currently get RTÉ (an agreement has been reached for reciprocal exchange of UK and RoI channels throughout Ireland on DTT but I'm not sure how cable is affected) but they do have a regional variation of BBC NI and the UTV alternatives to ITV1 and ITV HD. Wales has the additional channels S4C and, until recently, S4C2 but other than that it's just regional variations of BBC Wales and ITV Wales & West, previously known as HTV.

So, if I'm correct, Wales is the only place that the number of channels should differ if all else were equal.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Hopelessly wrong :)

NI gets RTÉ1, RTÉ2 and TG4, but doesn't get Challenge Jackpot. Wales gets S4C and S4C AD. Grimsby gets Channel 7. Leicester gets MATV. Several regions have two or three BBC1s and ITV1s.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Good job I'm not sensitive to your abuse! (Mum, he's being mean to me. :cry:)

OK, so they do get the RoI channels in NI and trawler crews and Midland Asians are better represented than the rest of us. We all have access to the BBC national variations but not the BBC and ITV regional variations. I must admit, I often misuse the term regional when I mean national variation.

It makes you wonder why they don't allow everyone access to the regional variations, perhaps via the red button. If they have to do it for some postcodes anyway then it can't really be a bandwidth issue.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I know we all knew this was happening but was there any announcement or on-screen message before the plug was pulled? I've been away for most of the Christmas/New Year period so I wasn't at home to see what's been happening on VM cable.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

All that was required were the prior announcements in the press, news and on sites such as this one.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

still a bugger as Bravo did have some nice shows...so why have Sky removed them... £££ again.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

If they feel the is a need for any of the shows they will move them to another channel as they did with "Chuck" to Living.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Fine but was there an on-screen message or is there one now?

---------- Post added at 12:13 ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 ----------

I think the general expectation is that the best shows from those deceased channels as well as Channel One (formerly Virgin1) will be spread across the remaining ex-Virgin Media TV channels and probably also Sky Atlantic in the case of some US programming.

Interestingly, the ex-Virgin Media TV channels are now owned by Living TV Group (see also Channel One (UK TV channel)).

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

As of Today (04/01/11):

-Sky Movies Christmas and Sky Movies Christmas HD has been rebranded as Sky Movies Showcase and Sky Movies Showcase on Virgin Channels 403 and 433.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

ITV1 Granada+1 has joined the EPG in North West England on channel 114 and begins broadcasts at 2000 tonight.

I understand ITV Broadcasting Ltd has been granted 6 licences by OFCOM to cover these areas so you will get the relevant 'sub region' : -

1. ITV1 Central+1
2. ITV1 Granada+1 (Granada/Border)
3. ITV1 London+1
4. ITV1 Meridian+1 (Meridian/Anglia)
5. ITV1 West+1 (West/Westcountry/Wales)
6. ITV1 Yorkshire+1 (Yorkshire/Tyne Tees)

STV+1 and UTV+1 are also testing on satellite, I assume in anticipation of a launch.

Not that it affects any VM customers but ITV Channel Television is not providing a +1 service for their ITV1 broadcasts.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I can confrim that STV +1 is broadcasting on Channel 114 in Scotland.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is it actually live now MB?, if so is it broadcasting ITV Breakfast programmes?

Thanks

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

It has an ''This is stv +1'' sign up with music.

EPG says it starts at 8pm tonight.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

UTV+1 is also on 114 in Northern Ireland

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Looks like all VM customers are covered then.

For once in their lives the ITV Network have done something together, miracles can happen!

By all accounts there isn't a freeview slot in the Channel Islands so it's no real surprise it isn't launching there.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

EuroNews (620) is now widescreen and has updated it's presentation graphics.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Oops! The sort of thing one could easily miss if one always views the Guide through Favourites. ITV1+1 now added to Favourites. Thanks for the info.

---------- Post added at 16:51 ---------- Previous post was at 16:48 ----------

Not being nasty to EuroNews but it's about time. I must go have a look.

---------- Post added at 16:58 ---------- Previous post was at 16:51 ----------

Hopefully some of the content will be redistributed amongst the remaining former VMTV channels and SkyAtlantic which I personally thinks we will get fairly soon.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

The Cinemoi freeview on channel 445 has now ended

Cinemoi has now gone an pay month channel.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

If any of the Channel One content begins to reappear on Sky channels will it become available on OD? Hmm, I suspect not, unless maybe it ends up on Sky Living or one of its siblings. Or, are we likely to lose the (Sky) Living OD content soon too?

What happened with the re-brand switch-over? It seemed as though the Living channels went off air for several hours from midnight (I'm guessing 00:00 to 06:00 but I didn't take accurate timings). I had been planning on watching CSI and maybe Criminal Minds.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin Media has update ''MTV Rocks'' as ''MTV ROCKS'' on Virgin Channel 325.

---------- Post added at 20:50 ---------- Previous post was at 20:47 ----------

The Living and Challenge Channels was off air for two hours on Monday night starting at 2am.

DS Forum think Sky was moving everything you need to broadcast from the old Virgin Media Television HQ into the BSkyB Broadcasting HQ.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

We noticed some existing series links didn't work after 1 February either on ex VMtv channels but that's been sorted now. We had to delete the old one and set it up again but some series links didn't reappear until Wednesday. It's seems fine now though.

The SD PQ is definitely lower on Sky Living and Challenge now though as was reported by Sky users on DS. They are much the same as Sky 1 now, smudgey!

With Skys present contempt for their Virgin customers I would say they will definately not be providing VOD in the future.

Just one sneeky question Media Boy is looking at your profile is why is your age 4 years old.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

The age on my profile is how old the ''Media Boy'' brand is.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Thank you for your answer but theres no way l thought you were 4 years old.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

He certainly doesn't act that mature! ;)

Well, someone had to say it, didn't they?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Shame on you for saying that hes not that mature as l am 46 and my partner says l still a big kid at times but there again most men are kids at heart.

Ah, the goalposts have moved from 'nobody' to 'a tiny minority'......;)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

HD is still a "minority" when compared with SD yet we all want more of that.

I think providing 3D content is a good thing. Whilst I agree VM should be adding more HD channels, being the competitive market this is, they must be seen to be offering services on par with Sky.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Well it is when compared to what the vast 99.9 per cent watch and you know that.
