Re: July 4th changes
Received email from VM. 86 channels are changing.
Doesn't look like they've updated the channel list in the link they gave.
Quote:
We just wanted to let you know that on 4th July, we’re updating the numbers of 86 channels on all our TV boxes.
We’ll be moving our best-loved entertainment and music channels further up the TV guide, and grouping +1 channels together, so they’re all easier to find.

Re: July 4th changes
Email from vm
We just wanted to let you know that on 4th July, we’re updating the numbers of 86 channels on all our TV boxes.
We’ll be moving our best-loved entertainment and music channels further up the TV guide, and grouping +1 channels together, so they’re all easier to find.
These changes will happen automatically, so you don’t need to do anything. And don’t worry – none of this will affect your recordings or Series Link+.
From the 4th July make sure to check out the complete list of changes to your channel guide here.
Happy watching,
The Virgin Media team

Re: July 4th changes
Has anyone got a screenshot of next week’s EPG changes? A few friends have VM, but struggle with emails. I’ve also got Sky, so will struggle to help them.

Re: July 4th changes
I find it incredibly hard to imagine there’s any commercial sensitivity in this.
