Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

Whilst talking about the Sports channels, can someone explain how SKY number them? In the Radio Times, there are 2 channel numbers on Virgin, say 511 and 517 for SS1. Yet there is only 1 channel number for SKY, 501 for example. So is that channel in HD, or what?

Can't wait to see if there are any new channels tomorrow. Does it matter if I have my router turned off overnight?

Impressive but;

History and History +1 already are launched
MGM HD will very likely be a premium channel included in the Sky Movies Bundle, much like it is on Sky (also available seperatly) so will very likely appear after the Sky Movies HD channels.
If Universal HD does come it will very likely come with E! HD but a poster shunned the launch with an email from Universal saying it won't be arriving.
You missed heavily rumoured MTV Classic.

Sky HD boxes automatically show the HD feed if available, so all HD channels on Sky only have the one channel number. It's something people have been asking for a while to be implemented on VM.

Don't know. Just what I think should be channel numbering if any of these launch in the coming month - are you listening Virgin? You have a challenge put to you by the community - get us these channels and we will stay another 18 months!

These stations were only available in ex-telewest areas. Now they're available to all.

Several years after the merger between telewest and ntl which then became vm, we now have full channel parity between the old cablecos. Didn't take them long , did it?.....
