Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Another update. This is a quote from JJ20x's post on ForumBox (thanks to Horizon for the head's up on the Pick'n'Mix thread).

Quote:

Channels not initially assigned to a new tier and not in the Player or "FTA" tiers:

Blaze, Film4 +1, Food Network, God Channel, More 4 +1 & Travel Channel - all of these were added to the Player Pack

I've had a look at the two sources I have access to (different than what JJ20x was using to be clear). Someone on the Player tier will need to confirm these changes, though the new VM channel list PDF for May should be out soon, but they are showing on the Player tier on the VM website now, whereas the last VM channel list PDF from the start of April I have has them all on different tiers. The VM website table showing it turned out to be true for NHK World so I have no reason to doubt these channels being available to more tiers.

Additional: Had a closer read of JJ20x's post and found some more. I'll check these against the VM website. Checked, and seem fine.

Quote:

International news channels:

Al Jazeera English, Bloomberg HD, euronews, France 24 (French) HD, France 24 English HD, NDTV 24x7, NHK World-Japan - all of these were added to the Player Pack.

And...

Quote:

&TV, HUM EUROPE, Islam Channel English, Islam Channel Urdu, Al Jazeera Arabic & NDTV India - these were added to the Player Pack

And yet more...

Quote:

Asian/Bollywood music channels:

B4U Music, Brit Asia TV & Zing - all of these were added to the Player Pack.

That makes 22 additions to Player tier this week now, I think.

Many thanks JJ20x.

As of Today (09/05/19):

CHANNEL LAUNCH:

-Bangers PPN has launch today on Virgin UK Channel 976.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

I can confirm Lifetime HD, Crime+Inv HD, History HD and History 2 HD have today replaced their SD versions on their respective channel numbers on the EPG.

As a lower tier customer I can also confirm that Lifetime HD and History 2 HD have moved down a tier rather than the lower tiers lose access to them.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

As garethf1927 said on another thread, the day after the A&E channel HD swaps, the Crime+Inv HD moved (yet again) from 222 to 209 (alongside Lifetime HD) and Crime+Inv+1 has moved from 224 to 222.

So after all that upheaval the A&E channels are now numbered as follows:

Lifetime HD is on 208
Crime + Investigation HD is on 209
Crime + Investigation +1 is on 222
HISTORY HD is on 270
HISTORY +1 is on 271
HISTORY 2 HD is on 273

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Sky Cinema SD channels on Tsid18 (C065) have been switched off and replaced with HD update information on channels 431-442.

The exception is that Sky Premiere+1 is still in SD on Ch 402.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Obvious there must be a reason why Sky Premiere+1 is still in SD on Ch 402?.

I'd imagine they haven't got the HD version ready so are just keeping it running until then.
