EPG Channels 119 and 120
Hi All
Does anyone know why channels 119 and 120 are not used? Being high up the EPG I'd have thought they are prime real estate. Are they used for local programming in some areas?

Didn't they used to be that Virgin 1 and Virgin 1 +1?

Please do Den, we need a new vague date for SA's "imminent" arrival. Autumn may still be clinging very faintly to life, but it won't be about much longer.
I am going to say it will arrive on April 1st before midday.

There are many conditions to concluding a deal Harry and even the slightest hitch can affect or delay things.

Re: EPG Channels 119 and 120
Assuming the comment that Virgin are keeping these two slots available is for The Unmentionable Channel and The Unmentionable Channel HD doesn't that rather imply Virgin are hopeful of getting these eventually? If not, why keep them unused? Incidentally, are EPG slot allocations totally within the gift of Virgin or can broadcasters reserve slots (for a price I assume)?
