Channel renumbering - your views.

What do you think Virgin Media will move to new channel numbers later this month?

Virgin Media workers and Media Boy cant vote.

Re: Channel renumbering - your views.

It would be great if Virgin and SKY would allow people to set their own EPG / channel list. My TV has built in Freeview and allows me to arrange the channels to my own personal preference.

Telewest did allow you to rearrange your own channel lineup back in 1999.

But was remove when On Demand was launch.

Why not use the same number system as sky?

Re: Channel renumbering - your views.

I don't see any point in speculating about it, they could all use some tidying up. The entertainment genre is running low on numbers in the 100 range so would benefit from being extended, pushing other genres onto higher numbers.
