Apoligies but I missed out Disney XD and its timeshift because I assumed they were HD channels when I saw XD in the channel name. Therefore, in fact, VM has one more channel than when ntl became VM is you do not include BBC Alba and two more if you do include BBC Alba but if you do not allow for any regional channels in the 870s (which is the case in most of the UK as IIRC correctly, only former TW areas had additional ITV regions) then it's still exactly the same number of channels.
