I didn't mention the new items on Tsid 4 earlier as those looked like data, with their Tier labels. The new Tsid 2 and Tsid3 items will probably be housekeeping. |

A: Virgin Media UK has this week (Found on April 24th) has moved all channels listed on this post to new streams (But still broadcasting in MPEG2). So if you are an fan of any channel listed you will have to readd it to your Favourites Channels list. ---------- Post added at 17:14 ---------- Previous post was at 16:15 ---------- 12 Streams has still to join MPEG4 so we have work out. -If Virgin Media add up to 5 streams to MPEG4 every two weeks we feel it will now end on May 28th. -We feel the next streams will join on April 29th. C034 -A Message For Parents C036 (Red Button stream) -SptsETV01 C046 -alibi +1 C052 -Pop Power C053 -Kerrang C054 -ITVBe C064 -I.D.

Media Boy HQ do not work for Virgin Media UK so dates may change. |

Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
I've been thinking about the move of Sky Hits and Sky Sports Racing onto the multiplex/frequency mentioned by Media Boy above. They have been moved alongside what seems to be all (?) of the other Sky Cinema SD channels. It occurred to me that they might just switch off all of these SD channels as part of a new Sky deal.
My reasoning being that, as I understand it, Sky Cinema subscribers get all the channels, both HD and SD, and given VM customers all have HD capable boxes now they will see the carrying of the SD Cinema channels as a needless duplication. As for Sky Sports Racing, there is an HD version, and it hasn't launched on VM yet. Maybe they will simply replace the SD one with the HD version? So my theory is the whole of Tsid 18 multiplex/frequency, which these are now on, will simply be switched off rather than switch to MPEG4 SD versions. |
Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
Once all streams are switched to Mpeg4 will there be any benefits for users? Improved PQ perhaps?

Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
Have to say the change to MPEG4 hasn't improved my life in any way. Very disappointing !

I think all the variations of BBC2 are, as are Channel 4 regions and Channel 5. I'm not certain all the regions of ITV are, and there are some BBC1 regions that aren't. E.g. based on DBR website, which I believe is showing VM network in Manchester, Tsid 101 on DBR for North West isn't, neither is BBC1 Scotland and BBC1 Wales on Tsid 10. |
Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
Apologies if this has been mentioned, but has anyone else noticed that the picture is stretched vertically on SD channels that have moved to MPEG4? Very noticeable to me, especially when the same coverage is being shown on Sky Sports Main Event and one of the other Sky Sports channels, Main Event shows it correctly but graphics are much closer to the edge of the screen on the other Sky Sports channels.
