Sky Sports News HD will launch on Virgin Channel 511.
Sky News HD will launch on Virgin Channel TBC.[COLOR="Silver"]
Do you think the news channels would have a little shuffle?
Just thinking about it, It would seem silly to have BBC News on 601, Sky News on 602, Sky News HD on 603 *If it was to be launched here* then BBC News HD on 604.
This would be better IMO:
Sky News - 601
Sky News HD - 602
BBC News - 603
BBC News HD - 604

BBC News should have the better EPG listing. Sky lost the top spot when the Sky Basics were removed and BBC News replaced them. In addition BBC News HD was made available from launch, whilst Sky News HD hasn't. Then there's the quality aspect...

Yes, I too suspect that the channel is being wound down and, therefore, won't be coming to VM.

Very poor decision, but at least I know who made it now....

VM like to keep the x00 channel numbers for barker channels in the various genres.

Same here, anyone who doesn't want them visible can easily remove them from the EPG
