I posted this yesterday morning on the sport thread. I can't think what it would be though, and no-one else suggested anything. Any ideas?

I did not see your post from when I saw it today I want to this thread.

I think Virgin Media UK are maybe set to launch an UHD Stream on CO52.

As Virgin TV Ultra UHD sits beside Red Button and Radio Channels on CO68.
And BT Sport 4K UHD also sits beside Red Button and Radio Channels on CO73.

Another UHD stream? I wonder what that would be?

Virgin Media do NOT have an UHD Stream. All UHD Channels sits beside Radio or Red Button Channels over two streams.

As far as I know Virgin are broadcasting two Virgin TV Ultra HD Channels on CO68:

-Virgin TV Ultra HD (Old) (SID 2102)
-Virgin TV Ultra HD (New) (SID 2104)

I wasn't arguing with you, just quoting your very own post, old chap!

Also an new channel has appeared on C073

Channel is called Pure Babes HD (SID 2207) and still broadcasting in MPEG2.

BT Sport Hidden has previously been a stream for channel 100, so my guess is that these are for the Champions League and Europa Cup finals.

Media Boy UK · 23-05-2019, 18:18

Meet The Babes is broadcasting in MPEG4 on CO30.

Prue Babes HD is broadcasting in MPEG2 on Virgin Channel 983.

Channel 4 AD has been readded to CO57.

May has been an bad month for Channels going over from MPEG2 to MPEG4 so far this month only TWO Channels has joins MPEG4. Here hoping June is better.

I put the slow down in changes down to the large number of pixelisation complaints that got reported a few weeks ago. VM probably wanted to halt MPEG4 switches while they investigated and fixed. Not necessarily because they were related.

Zee TV HD (It was broadcasting on SID 2407) has close on CO75 and Zee TV has launch in MPEG4 on CO29.

Viewers can view Zee TV if they have Asian Mela.
