BBC HD swap mistakes
 

There's been a mistake in Scotland with the BBC HD swaps.

BBC2 HD in Scotland, according to previous info was meant to stay on 162 but 162 is gone here.

Also the info screen on 108 is the one for then BBC2 move in other regions, not BBC1 as it should be.

I have informed VM of this.

They have now fixed the info screen on 108. Now shows BBC1 info.

It is now fixed.

VM told me to manually connect to the network. And afterwards BBC2 HD was showing on 162 as it should be in Scotland.
If you need to, this how you do it.
Press Home on your remote > select Help & Settings > select Settings > select Network > select Connect to the Virgin Media Service now.

Glad I made a list of potentially affected planned records and series links. You have to sort them out manually. BBC2 incl HD for England and BBC1 incl HD for everybody else.

A helpful thing VM did was move the old 101 for Scotland to 862.

Before anyone says 862 was already BBC1 Scotland, I know, but this version now on 862 has all the 101 Series Links.

I presume they did the equivalent for some other Nation regions.

Here I had to reset the old BBC2 HD series links from 162 to 102.
Otherwise the others were fine.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Is that because 162 no longer exists in your area?

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

I have a weird one since the changes, the regional non-England BBC channels in the 800's are now not subscribed see link below. Any ideas? Thanks

This has been reported for action on the Virgin Media Community forum.

861 to 865 working OK for me. They were completely missing when I first switched on. I put the box back in standby for a minute then turn back on, & everything is where it should be.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Is this fixed now?

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Yep it's fixed now, came back on it's own

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Yes.
108 & 162 are defunct here.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Now the downside is that shows like the Mash Report/ Live at the Apollo get shunted to after Newsnight when I used to record of BBC2 HD England.
BBC NI like to show repeats of local stuff at 10 pm FFS.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Is there any reason why they didn't move BBC FOUR HD to channel 107?

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Yes, probably. No idea what it is though :D

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Probably the same reason they didn't swap the other BBC channels without regionalisation for their HD version i.e. News Channel, CBeebies, CBBC.

I don't know what that reason is, my guess is VM and/or BBC didn't want to confuse viewers with too many changes all at once.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Are series links on BBC2 HD automatically updating now? I had one that failed so re-set it to 102 but another series link I can't reset as it is not on at the moment and I can't change the channel to 102 either in the series link+ menu.

Any ideas how to fix? Can only think of changing to a wishlist

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

I think it gives you the option to set up a Series Link when you do a search for a programme that isn't currently showing.

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Thanks Richard, I'll try that out later :tu:

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

Changethe channel to ALL channels and new only!

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

First go to My Shows & Recordings > Mange Series Link+ >Find the greyed out show show you want to change > Press OK > Series Link Info > Modify options > Do the quoted suggestion of 1701-e above.

And how's that working out for them?? :rolleyes:

Re: BBC HD swap mistakes
 

:D

Well the BBC went first and it was just two channels (obv regional complications) so they probably got the best of it. The UKTV renumbering was much wider and with no real obvious logic (though I suspect it will become moreso after the BBC/Discovery split details are revealed to the public) so that probably went worse.
