Guide -> TV Guide -> ???

Not to be patronising, just gonna list the steps.
1 : Press Home
2 : Press TV Guide
3 : All channels
4 : Go to 159
5 : Press the blue button until you get to Thursday, July 1st, and the message is displayed instead of Programme info.

Hope this helps.

If you read the post MB has a v+ box and FELIM DOYLE has a v box. The v box on shows about 12 hours in fron and the v+ box has a seven day epg.

Th3e only reason that i know this is that i have one of each box.

Oh sorry, genuinely didnt know there was a difference. Only been with VM 4 months and just assumed they were all same apart from HD and + capabilities

Hi MB, can't you update post one "live" in post one? it's just that everyone one knows where it is instead of scrolling through posts.

P.S. this is NOT a critisism as I know regular users of this thread always read from where they last looked. (or have I just answered my own question lol!)

As far as I am aware Rob M, as a Team member, used to update Post 1 each week for Media Boy because he does not have the facility to do so himself.

As Rob M is no longer a team member he is no longer in a position to edit posts and Media Boy is giving us the new details in the only way possible at the moment.

Many thanks for that joglynne.

Keep up the great work MB.

I do not know as no new Streams or channels has been added to my area.

@Windy do you mean 36 (Not 16)?

ottoni · 29-06-2010, 08:04

Looking in the engineers menu, just after euronews on 620, from 621 to 632 they are numbered as 'Test 34 hid' on 621 right up to 'Test 45 hid' on 632, hopefully this is Sky movies HD!

or
HALLMARK HD
FIVE HD
ESPN AMERICA HD
NAT GEO WILD HD
BIOGRAPHY HD
CRIME & INVESTIGATION HD
HISTORY HD
DISNEY CINEMAGIC HD
TAKE YOUR PICK!!!
I personally would like Sky movies hd as the picture on the SD channels look awful!

It look like Virgin Media are testing something but not an HD Channels has ''Test 34 hid'' mean Test 34 hidden

Hidden mean that channel will join on Demand or the red button.

Horizon · 29-06-2010, 08:34

_hid means hidden. These are something else and I note that the bulk of them are not provisioned for me (not subscribed). I don't subscribe to any premium channels...

The other clue is the amount of transport streams which it has gone up by, which in my case is to 48 from 36 and services (channels) to 328 from 316. If they were SD channels, then VM would be about to launch 120 of them (very unlikely) so it means there must be some HD in there somewhere.

The final clue, as I've mentioned before, is that the Irish competition authorities will make a decision on the Sky/VM deal soon, probably next week. The submission to them was on the 6th of June and they can take up to a month to decide these things.

Now, lets see who leaks it first what they are, I know who my bets are on.
