As you say Virgin Media has 11 new serial numbers has been issued.

But with the Eurosport Top up channels and QVC Extra that 9 Channels.

So any of the following can happen to the two unknown channels:

A) Nothing.
B) Al Jazeera English HD and Al Jazeera HD (On new serial numbers)

C) BBC Two Northern Ireland (UK Wide) and BBC Two Wales (UK Wide)
D) Heart 90s and Heart Dance

E1) Craft Extra and Craft Extra
E2) Create & Craft HD and Ideal World HD (On new serial numbers)

F) (Two new Adults on demand channels)
G) Nick Jr +1 and Nick Jr. HD (On new serial number for Nick Jr. HD)

H) Pick +1 and Sky One +1
I) Boomerang HD and CNN International HD (On new serial numbers)

Or two from any of the following:

-Virgin Radio UK
-B4U Plus
-MUTV HD
-That's TV Gold
-POP Max
-CNBC HD
-Gemporia Craft

As I understand it, they don't always use every number, so don't read too much into it. That was part of the speculation at the weekend, there was a large gap but Virgin don't always fill the gaps. It was also said that sometimes gaps can be there for months before any channels appear with the serial numbers, so it wasn't a guarantee that numbers were reserved for the Eurosport channels. The Eurosport channels then appeared with serial numbers from the gap so, this time, the speculation was right.

There are lots gaps in the sequence, probably more gaps than there are channels available to fill them. Virgin sometimes backfill as they did when the extra ITV HD regions were added but most of the gaps don't get filled at all.

As for Virgin Radio UK. Will Virgin ever add more radio stations? The new packages don't list radio stations and rely on the Radioline app.

Another reason why I wouldn't want the 360 as I record a lot of radio.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

You’ll finally have no reason to stay. I wonder if any other supplier allows recording of radio?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I'm sure there will be.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I think some Freeview HD boxes do.

But you can only get the now and next epg on older Sky Boxes.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Thanks. If I don't move to Sky i'll probably use Freesat & Freeview with streaming services as and when required.

Apparently, radio can only be recorded on Sky Q via manual recordings so, even if I move to Sky, I might record radio separately via Freeview.

Anyone know if radio can be recorded on Freesat? If not, I'm sure a generic satellite receiver will suffice.

[/COLOR]If you get a none freesat sattelite box then you can record rafdio, as it's none freesat you might want to spend a bit of time on set up at organizing your channels.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

On skyQ You cannot record tv using manual recordings, so I cannot see being able to record radio in that manner.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Thank you.

Really? I never knew that about Sky Q, what a step backwards!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

You can record radio on SkyQ - but there doesn't seem to be any useful series links.

Also users record that recordings on some channels seem to keep dropping out of the scheduled list - but that is a problem with the provided listings.
