Discovery Kids is now closed on Virgin Media channel 721.

I have found the following over on Digital Spy for Ex-NTL Viewers:

Sky One, Sky Two, Sky News, Sky Sports News, Sky Travel and Sky Travel Extra have all been removed from the platform.

With the exception of Sky One, placeholders now appear in the positions of the removed channels informing customers of their removal.

On channel 120, Sky One's old position, there is now a channel called Virgin Central 2. It just links into the same content as Virgin Central.

BBC News has moved to channel 601. A placeholder appears on ch 610 informing customers of the move. ( Still on Ch. 610 for Ex-Telewest viewers. )

Ch 221 Discovery Wings has been renamed Discovery Turbo.

Ch 228 Adventure One has been renamed Nat Geo Wild. [Ch. 231 for ex-Telewest viewers.]

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is that what the update was for this mrning?

what a load of crap!

cheers TVBOY!

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

The Performance Channel is to be remove soon on Ex-Telewest. No date given.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Brilliant... so we lost all the sky channels and got Paramount and Discovery for a few months- now they take it away again (I'm on the basic NTL package). I wouldnt mind but frankly these virgin on demand channels are crap- they take half an hour to get started as the system is so slow- and quite often they crap out half way through the tiny selection of programs anyway.

How am I to live without my dose of Cartman?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

TGBQ has ended!! It has been confirmed by two presenters that the great big quiz will no longer broadcast. Thre was no prior warning given to the viwers , the presenters only found out this morning.The Great Big Quiz was on FTN [ midnight ], Living 2 [ at 1am ] & Bravo 2 [ at 1am ] on Virgin TV.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

....now that is good news:)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Win Win TV is now on FTN.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Update: Win Win TV was only on Virgin TV for one night as I think Virgin Media did not know about The Great Big Quiz being closedown by its owners. PremPlus has now closed on Virgin TV it was on Channel 501 & Channel 502 [ In Ex-NTL ].

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

thank you

my bet is

Skysports 4 will replace Prem Plus but it is not going to be PPV channel

or

ti will replace it by VIRGIN SPORT CHANNEL

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Surely Prem Plus will be replaced by Setanta PPV for next season

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Setanta are going to show all of theirs 46 FA Premiership games LIVE on Setanta Sports 1 or Setanta Sports 2 next season.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin have remove Sunrise Radio^ from their channel lineup. Sunrise was on Virgin TV Channel 913.

Virgin have now renamed Sky Movies 9 to Sky Movies SD 1 on channel 409 and is part of the Sky Movies 1 package. Also Sky Movies 10 has been rename Sky Movies SD 2 and is part of the Sky Movies 2 package.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Good. That's just happened on this part of the network. Here in York we were still seeing the "Service is no longer available" screen on 409, and no channel 410 at all. And that's after a reboot on VIP pack.


Updated: Scrap that last bit - the two channels have just turned up now five minutes after the reboot, but the EPG is showing no information.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

just come on here ex ntl

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

So looks like all the Mvies channels are alligned in ex-ntl: and ex-telewest areas.

A step in the right direction could be an understatement.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I can see that Telewest needs them channels, but ntl: dont need them, They are crap!

I think Virgin Radio will appear, but the rest can be removed from both platforms as far as I am concerned.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin have today remove Performance from their Ex-Telewest channel lineup.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Should telewest customers have classic fm tv not they do not have performance?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

5 months after the rebrand from Telewest to VM and we still don't have the missing music channels Classic FM TV or Bliss, Scuzz & Flaunt.

VM were quick to remove Performance from the EPG after just over week after pulling the plug on the channel but i notice that Discovery Kids which ceased broadcasting way back in March is still listed on the EPG.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin are only signing new deals for channels when the old deals that NTL and Telewest have sign have ended.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is it off the EPG I keep getting this channel has ceased broadcasting as I go through the music channels a la Sky Sports etc.

Would be better if dead channels are taken out of cycles to speed up searches

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin Media have today remove the following channels from their Ex-Telewest Network:

515. Sky Sports News
602. Sky News
721. Discovery Kids

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Those channels have also been removed from the Ex-Cable & Wireless / Bromley network.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Damn! :( I realise it may sound strange of me to be disappointed by blank channels being removed, but I actually found a use for 1. I don't watch anything live, & I find having that preview/picture-in-picture thing on screen annoying when I'm browsing around the various menus, so I've been leaving my box set to 1 of the blank channels [I was using 602]. I don't suppose anyone knows if there are any blank channels left?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Try ch501 which was prem plus or ch 890 if your ex-telewest and i think Ch 0 is also blank

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Yea. Prem Plus is still there, but you could use channel 0 as well, which is the PPV channel.

The Sky Travel ones have been removed also.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Makes me wonder if there trying to free up a bit of space on the network for the extra setanta sports channels, thats just a guess. :erm:

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I'm ex-NTL. 501 doesn't work, it just says that I'm not subscribed to that channel. 0 is blank, as is 610 [Ex BBC News 24], but having gone all the way round, those are the only 2.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Oh yea... its Subscription. So that would leave X BBC 24 or PPV.

Yo, Dave... dont fuel the fire dude! ;) lol

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Virgin Media have also remove the following channels from the Ex-NTL Network:

121. Sky Two
288. Sky Travel
289. Sky Travel + 1
