I would not get to excited on their answer, e mailed them and got this reply

Dear Matt,



Thank you for your recent email regarding the launch of ITV1 HD.



We are currently in negotiations with ITV in order to provide a UTV HD channel in Northern Ireland in the near future.



We appreciate when viewers take the time to contact us as your views are important and have been seen by UTV senior management.



Best wishes,



I asked would we have it for the world cup and got this helpful reply


Sorry Matt but I won’t be able to respond any further.

Best wishes,

Sarah

Someone who posted on Wikipedia thinks Virgin Media will move Diva +1 from Channel 165 to Channel 166 before the end of this month.

But an Virgin insider has told me that Diva+1 is not being moved until Virgin drop this channel on April 1st.

So no NGTV for me today, but strange that it rebooted due to the channel reshuffles and the updating message on on demand yesterday and the loss of NGTV_Switch channel off the EPG today. Spiderplant was correct...as usual

Looks like they've corrected themselves

Correction:
Last week, we told you that E4 HD and Film4 HD would be available to customers who had our ‘M+’ TV service and above. Unfortunately this could have been a little clearer - Film4 HD will certainly be available to customers on M+ and above, however E4 HD will be included at no extra cost for our ‘XL’ TV customers only. We’re sorry for the confusion!

I hope to god that Oldham does NOT get the NGTV update on the 28th March (29th - Midnight) because WRESTLEMANIA 26 is on and I would rather have no TV at all than to miss it. Please Virgin Media dont update on that night.

It is odd that Film 4 is going in the M+ but E4 in XL, I can certainly understand putting HD in the XL pack to help recoup cost and tempt more subscribers to upgrade but this really shows some randomness on where channels end up.

I doubt any work like that will get done on a Sunday night, it would be one heck of a overtime rate.

I think someone at Virgin sent the message to boxes in your area too early. (Maybe Virgin are working on your area Headend right now).

Me too, esp after paying for it, I was there last year in Houston, gotta watch from home this year.

Thanks for clearing that up Ben. Makes no difference to me as I'm on XL, but looks like my dad will miss out on E4. He'll be more interested in Film 4HD anyhow.

Since this morning both boxes have dropped 1 channel, V Box now on 300 and V+ now on 307

My total channels is now 331 (was 328 yesterday) but virgin has only added two new channels to my box - and Virgin has not remove any channels today.

I'll have a look on the provisioning screen in a bit to see what is not on EPG then

[jtaylor06]

Also found the two extra channels showing that the channel numbers will be moving.

They're named after the channel numbers though. Wouldn't it make more sense to be called Channel Moving Info

followed by in the EPG time slots
Info about new channel numbers
