What am I on about? Well, it's rather odd that all the Sky Cinema SD channels are all on the same multiplex/frequency and haven't been part of the MPEG4 switching, yet the Sky Sports SD channels, with one exception (and I'm not counting Red Button), are all switched over to MPEG4 and scattered all over the multiplexes. The one Sky Sports SD exception is of course Sky Sports Racing, and it was moved onto the same multiplex/frequency as the SD Cinema channels a month or two ago.

To me this is likely to mean one thing, Sky Cinema is going HD Only on VM and so is Sky Sports Racing, so Virgin Media don't see any point in switching their SD channels to MPEG4 if they are going to be switched off soon.
We think Virgin Media will move the rest of the channels to MPEG within the next THREE weeks.

With the next update happen on Monday.
