As I understand it, they don't always use every number, so don't read too much into it. That was part of the speculation at the weekend, there was a large gap but Virgin don't always fill the gaps. It was also said that sometimes gaps can be there for months before any channels appear with the serial numbers, so it wasn't a guarantee that numbers were reserved for the Eurosport channels. The Eurosport channels then appeared with serial numbers from the gap so, this time, the speculation was right.
There are lots gaps in the sequence, probably more gaps than there are channels available to fill them. Virgin sometimes backfill as they did when the extra ITV HD regions were added but most of the gaps don't get filled at all.
As for Virgin Radio UK. Will Virgin ever add more radio stations? The new packages don't list radio stations and rely on the Radioline app.
