Changes on Virgin Media between Easter and May Day:
The service name of Motors TV (SID 1602) was changed to motorsport.tv
The service names of STV Glasgow (SID 10140) and STV Edinburgh (SID 10152) were both changed to STV2.
Made in Liverpool (SID 10152) was removed from the Code Download Test (Portsmouth) network.
Service IDs 1514, 1515 and 1519 were testing on Transport Stream 15.
Changes between May Day and the start of this week:
Zee TV (SID 1514), &TV (SID 1515) and Zee Punjabi (SID 1519) were activated on Transport Stream 15, replacing SID's 1106, 1108 and 1109 respectively, which were removed from Transport Stream 11. So channels are being moved around, probably just internal maintenance but possibly an indication that Transport Stream 11 is being reorganised to make way for different channels.
Viceland (SID 1116) was removed from the Network Information Tables of all test networks and from the Service Description Table. Test video and audio streams were removed from across the network. So all traces of Viceland have now been removed. Interesting as it seemed to be at a fairly advanced stage of being added to the network.
STV2 (SID 10140) - the Glasgow version was added to the Code Download Test (Portsmouth) nework. Perhaps the testers were distraught at the earlier removal of Made in Liverpool and got STV2 as compensation.
As far as the Solent area in general is concerned, there are still no active tests present for That's Solent on the NIT tables of any of the regional networks.
Made in Teesside (SID 10156) was removed from the NGRHEE Bromley network where the original monitoring/testing appears to have taken place.
Other than that, a few service name changes as a result of channels temporarily re-branding. There were some interesting additional changes noted but no indication of what may develop from these changes, if anything.
Fox News Channel continued to be present in the NIT tables of several of VM's internal networks, used for testing.
