Do you know if this is permanent or just a promotion?

Seems odd to put Alibi HD at 200.

There needs to be a major reorganisation of the 100 group as it is crowded and a mess in places and there are still potential channels to be added, especially HD ones.

It probably wont get mentioned for a while, Virgin didnt tell anyone for about 2 weeks when MTV HD & Nick HD launched. Ben is VM Staff, and it is probably the most reliable on the entire forum.

Maybe they are. They moved Good Food & Eden to SD/+1/HD, which is different to the way they do other 3 channel blocks. Having the HD version on the end (or far away) means that if they do merge SD & HD, the +1 is on the next number.

Just noticed how bad the L Pack is now;

Sky Livingit (Sky Entertainment and TalkTalk £5 Boost)
Gold +1 (Sky Ent)
Comedy Central (Sky Ent)
Comedy Central +1 (Sky Ent)
E! (Sky Ent)
DMAX (Sky Ent)
True Entertainment (Freeview & Freesat)

Also stuff on the XL pack like Fox that are on Sky Ent or TalkTalk £10 channels, they really should sort them out.

It is up to VM how to package channels not ape competitors. They probably will amend the packs further so let's see...

529 ESPN
530 ESPN HD
547 BT Sports 1
548 BT Sports 2
