The pre-launch EPG slots have changed, or at least one of them. Channel 100 is still in the configuration, with channel 106 being changed to 114. So a movement from the existing E4 slot to the existing ITV +1 slot. Confused yet? There seems to be no logic to this.

I may be wrong, but the logic I see is that ITV will finally decide it does not need 113 as all the regions covered by VM are HD (or there's been pressure from other parties), so are moving the +1 up one. STV will obviously follow suit for STV+1. 114 being the lowest empty slot after this will be offered to Channel 4 to make up for releasing 106 for BBC3, rather than it go way up to its previous slot on 144 which has been held empty all this time just in case. Channel 4 seem to like their channels being on EPG numbers that have a 4, so 114 is ideal. ITV/STV obviously would rather claim 113 once it's not required by them for HD rather than a rival get it.
