It's about time a HD swap option was added, instead of moving channels around, FOX HD 158, is one of the few channel numbers I know, that and 212, 310 and 604 lol

As well as the speculation that this may be in preparation for adding new channels; it's been shown that timeshift channels do much better ratings wise when placed next to their parent channel. This attracts better advertising revenue.

I would not be surprised if BBC3 was allowed to continue in the slot once all this fuss is over. Much ado about nothing!

What's happened to the plans for BBC1 +1?

Is this a simulcast of an encrypted BT Sport channel, or something extra?

Well, VM and it's predecessors are known for poor communication towards their customers.

Long time, no see folks! I simply hope Virgin have pulled their fingers out of their backsides and managed to sign up some new channels for us.
It could most likely take channels a week or two to start testing on satellite or cable.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
Correct thread lol.
DNP has been lifted.
Universal may launch a movie channel exclusively on vm no further information yet and this is still at rumour stage. My belief is with picturebox being dropped we may see that go to a linar channel.

Do you think any new Universal deal is likely to bring Universal HD closer to VM too?

There is no immediate threat to linear channels, but my view is that over the next few years, as more people watch TV by other means, there will be less advertising money available, and this will force consolidation, and so the process will continue.
I'm sorry for those who want the status quo, but I truly believe that this is the way we are heading, so make the most of it now, I say.

Why would you have a dnp on a rumour of something that may happen?
I can now reveal a dnp that Sky Atlantic may come to VM at some stage in the future, but it is only a very, very feint whisper of a very, very unlikely rumour at the moment.

If people give me rumours and ask me not to disclose it at the time i respect their wishes.
I class all information these days as rumours too tbh as in my eyes nothing is confirmed until it actually shows up on the virgin epg which i rely on you guys for that info for these days lol as i just use on demand and online services now.

Well, here is one potential scenario:
His source may work in an area where any leakage can be attributed to him only, so they put on a DNP.
Once his source hears the rumour from a different organisation, then he can release the DNP, because if asked, he can point to the other organisation as the probable source.
This is just one of, I imagine, several scenarios that could warrant a DNP on a rumour.
