Re: EPG reshuffle on Virgin TV in 2012???
Personally, I don't understand this obsession with channel numbers. We have an ability to select programmes from the EPG and we can set our favourite channels in whatever order we choose.

If you have a V+ box or a TIVO, you can record all your programmes for the week fairly easily and select your viewing from the recordings rather than rely on the programme schedulers and have to remember which channel numbers are which. An added benefit is that you can simply fast forward through the adverts.

Channel hoppers will hop away regardless of the channel numbers allocated.

Those who like to watch live sport have only a limited number of channels to choose from and can probably remember those channel numbers off by heart.

With these alternative means of selecting programmes to watch, the whole business of debating channel number allocation just leaves me cold. You soon get used to whatever channel numbers are allocated to your favourite channels even if you do nothing.
