Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
I can't believe that Virgin will number the Sky Sports channels that way. SS1 on 502, SS2 on 503 etc?? It just doesn't seem right. I'll get well confused!

Is there anything on 500 or 510?
They should have put News and News HD on those numbers respectively. Makes more sense.

It's easily the most popular Sky Sports channel - bear in mind most VM customers don't subscribe to the Premiums. It's all unconfirmed anyway.

Have you considered that the contract may specify the launch date?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
Base on that post from 7pm tonight.
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post2326.html
Sky Movies channels on Virgin Media are just moving channel numbers to have the same lineup as Sky viewers but starting with an 4.
On that list Channel 160 is free from July 15th so maybe Sky Living +1 will move to channel 160 on that day.

Cheers for the info, MB
Putting SSN on 501 is a bit strange, 500 would have made more sense if they wanted to put it before the other sports channels....Those VM bosses do have some strange ideas
