Not as far as I know.

Media Boy, is anything happening in the world ever again and, if so, why haven't you told us about it before?

Durham are playing well in HD on SS1 and the sun will be around for hopefully a few billion years yet according to Nat Geo HD

PS I do share your frustration but VM will get these channels eventually.

Why does this sound like a possible nightmare when it comes to all the series links and wishlists on the TIVO. The EPG data is bad enough at times, but if this happens I think "Tribune" will go into meltdown.

Channels are seen as unique seriel numbers. TiVo and V+HD series links will be unaffected by any channel moves.

Providing they use the 'SD, HD, +1' ordering of channels, this should be much better so things like ITV 4+1 and Comedy Central Extra aren't 50-odd numbers off their fellow channels.

Just a quick question will VM need to add new TS streams to add more channels, If so do we just keep checking the TS streams, Then when it rises we will know new channels are on the way?

New TS Steams will be added (Virgin cut one about two weeks ago) I look at ''Total Servs'' every day to see if it numbers has gone up or down I then look at my TV Gudie (All Channels) to see what has been remove or added.

Virgin Media in discussions with BSkyB

RE:Virgin Media in talks to get Sky Sports HD3 and Sky Sports HD4. Yes or No ?‏

Dear Martin.

Virgin Media would very much like to provide SS3 & 4 to our customers and we continue to discuss with BSkyB. I can't comment much further on the commercial aspects of these discussions but you will find plenty of commentary online which will probably answer your question.

Kind regards

Not really. It's been stated here before that they sometimes add extra streams to perform various tests so it's no guarantee that extra streams means new channels.
