Interesting question, I feel a majority of the viewing public still have a place in their hearts for linear tv channels (personal opinion only) and with that easy to remember EPG channel guide. Does anybody know the channel number for BBC HD is without checking!

I meant to say BBC 1 HD as that is the lowest channel then BBC HD is 187 as you say, thought I would wait to see who corrected me first.

Yes you win 1st prize, I season ticket to Luton Town FC  . The point is without channel numbers not being displayed on the front of TiVo boxes that is probably one reason why you need a simplified EPG that non cable forum geeks can remember!

Re: EPG reshuffle on Virgin TV in 2012???
Personally, I don't understand this obsession with channel numbers. We have an ability to select programmes from the EPG and we can set our favourite channels in whatever order we choose.
If you have a V+ box or a TIVO, you can record all your programmes for the week fairly easily and select your viewing from the recordings rather than rely on the programme schedulers and have to remember which channel numbers are which. An added benefit is that you can simply fast forward through the adverts.
Channel hoppers will hop away regardless of the channel numbers allocated.
Those who like to watch live sport have only a limited number of channels to choose from and can probably remember those channel numbers off by heart.
With these alternative means of selecting programmes to watch, the whole business of debating channel number allocation just leaves me cold. You soon get used to whatever channel numbers are allocated to your favourite channels even if you do nothing.

Re: EPG reshuffle on Virgin TV in 2012???
I would just like the EPG to be able work past 1 day. I have to use my freeview 6 day EPG to check past 04:00 the next morning. This of course does not list all my Virgin channels.
