The printed TV guide that came with the newspaper doesn't reflect the changes so there'll be a lot of confused people about.

@MB thanks for the changed numbers list in the other thread.

Maybe more things are set to move.

Why even get history hd ? I'll be annoyed by it to be honest since it's the biggest scam of a channel ever. Nothing history related. Maybe if they called it pawn stars hd id find it more acceptable for the channel to launch

I even try to call them out on Twitter about their lack of history but I never get a reply from the sell outs

I find most uk networks don't respond on twitter i've tweeted sky1, uktv, btsport, history, itv, bbc, channel5 about programme related stuff and never got a response the only networks who responded were channel4, mtv and most usa networks respond had responses of abc, amc, nbc, fox, hbo and starz.

Media Boy Views on last night new Virgin EPG lineup.

Here is our views on the new Virgin EPG lineup:

-Channel set to launch on Virgin Channel 205 (Pick +1 or Sky1 +1)?
-We feel that Virgin will need to work on they Factual and Lifestyle channels again within the next five years as Virgin has left room for 10 channels to launch.
-Do that mean Virgin has signed new deals with Sky, UKTV, Discovery Networks Western Europe, FOX, A+E Networks UK, BT Group plc (We know about that one), Travel Channel International Ltd. and Scripps Networks Interactive

=== What may launch as part of any new deal signed with Broadcasters listed: ===

-CI HD (Broadcasts in UPC Ireland areas right now).
-CI +1
-HISTORY HD (Broadcasts in UPC Ireland areas right now).
-Lifetime HD
-Lifetime +1
-TLC +2
-Food Network +1
-Pick +1
-Sky1 +1
-Sky Atlantic
-Sky Atlantic HD
-Sky Atlantic +1
-Travel Channel + 1

Need to wait until Virgin deal with NBC Universal is up for Universal HD, E! HD and E! +1.

Virgin did make room for more Entertainment to launch.

Stupid question

...is the current deal due to run out soon?

Universal HD would be a great addition to the VM line-up.

Yes at the moment the chance of getting that is as likely as pink elephants flying by me.

I believe lifetime has been confirmed by VM but can't recall where I read it (might be going mad) has history been confirmed by VM?

Nice to see the HD sports channels are promoted over their SD counterparts, thought I was s going mad for a minute when I went onto ch513 this SKY Sports HD picture is a bit rank 😄

Both are still classed as rumours at the moment mate but Historyhd and lifetimehd have been mentioned to me by quite a few sources.

Ah ok, I'm sure I read lifetime was confirmed and on MB update list it says it's confirmed but must be having a mad moment
