Will Virgin Media follow them???

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

It would make sense for all providers to do it at the same time so the broadcasters only have to do one "We've moved" advert/flyer.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

Sky are also changing the look of their EPG for all customers.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

Well that rules out Virgin changing theirs then :)

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

I can see them doing it at some point. They did it before so it's not out of the question. I'm sure plenty of people here can remember when all new channels went in the 9xx channel range.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

They should of done it ages ago.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

That was not in Ex-Telewest areas.

Virgin renumbers the Ex-NTL and Ex-C&W to the Ex-Telewest list of Channel numbers.

I feel VM should now probably promote LX HD channels ahead of SD ones in the EPG, eg Syfy HD is on 165 why!

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

But this is talking about re-arranging the channel numbers. It's nothing to do with font sizes or colour schemes.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

Yes it is probably time for another big shuffle, they have done a good job of keeping channels in order but from 180-199 is getting a bit messy.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

If we get more channels in 2012, where would they go?

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

I'd much sooner have it the way Sky do it ie 106 Sky One for SD subscribers and 106 Sky One HD for Sky+HD subscribers.

Re: New EPG on Virgin TV in 2012???
 

Agreed.
