Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

As Euronews re-organises, with targeted versions for each audience / language group, the former audio feeds of some of the additional language streams carried on Virgin Media have been removed.

PID's 1622, 1623 and 1624, the former audio streams for the French, German and Spanish language feeds have gone. PID 1611, the English language feed remains.

Do we have BT Showcase HD on VM? If not, does anyone have any news as to when/if this will be coming to the platform?
Service ID 1704: "BTSportHD Hidden" still exists, previously it has been switched into channel 100 on the EPG when live FTA content has been carried on BT Showcase. It's not on the EPG but the clue is in the "Hidden" part of the service name.

Service ID 807: "BT Sport Show" is still in the EPG on channel 548, so the SD version may possibly still be available on VM.

I've noticed on the Virgin Media EPG that the World Service on channel 906 closes down from 23:20 on Wednesday 17 May to 5:59 on Thursday 18 May.

Radio 4, which usually simulcasts the World Service overnight, is broadcasting a documentary series called 'Million Merchant Seafarers' from 1:00 to 5:20 on 18/5/17.

Anyone know what's happening?
Maintenance? Possibly nothing, I don't really trust the radio section of the EPG. Check again closer to the date, it may change.
