Recent changes on the Virgin Media network:
I could list multiple service name and EPG name changes associated with the changes to Sky Sports channels but won't bother as we all know what happened there. Initially, Sky Sports Main Event took the Sky Sports 1 pack codes and Sky Sports Cricket took the Sky Sports 2 pack codes. Shortly afterwards all of the Sky Sports channels were rolled over into a single pack (all packs have separate codes for SD and HD channels).
Multiple pack structures remain in place for Sky Movies.
The extra BBC Red Button channels were removed from the network and parked on dormant SID numbers in the Service Description Table. For anyone interested, SID 3904 BBC Red Button HD was parked at SID 3954. BBC Red Button 2-6, SIDs 4408-4412 were parked at 4458-4462 respectively.

All the following Local TV broadcasters may launch soon on Virgin UK Channel 159:

STV2 on TS 101 SID 10151 (the former STV Edinburgh) has been removed from the Edinburgh and Falkirk networks and replaced with STV2 TS 101 SID 10140 (the former STV Glasgow), which was already carried on the Glasgow & Uddingston networks. SID 10140 has also been added to Virgin Media's Dundee & Perth networks. A single feed of STV2 is now carried across the whole of the VM network in Scotland. So much for "local" television, A criticism of the state of local tv and not of Virgin Media.
Other changes involve the download services supporting VM equipment and are beyond the scope of this thread.
