We have been given no info on channel numbers but with it only being for when Wales are playing in Euro 2016 we think Virgin Media UK will launch it on Virgin UK Channel 989.

BBC Red Button HD will have Channel 990.
and BBC Red Button 2 to 6 will start from Channel 992 to Channel 996.

Rumours says Sky Movies Greats will become known as Sky Movies Superheroes from June 7th.

For the next few weeks.

S4C HD appears to have been added to the Sky EPG today on Channel 134 is this a permanent channel or just for the Euros ?

Permanent for Sky (and Freeesat) but Euros-only for VM. Unless VM forgets to switch it off.

I would have thought the channel number might have a "4" or "16" in it to make it a bit more memorable.

Unless Wales do an Leicester City S4C HD on Virgin Media is set to close on or just after June 21st.

Well BBC Three HD old slot is still free on Virgin Channel 163.

Two of out three ain't bad.

But that will mean S4C HD will be before S4C on the Virgin EPG.

Looking through this thread, it's pretty obvious that we ain't getting anything worth watching anytime soon, I am seriously considering dumping Virgin TV in favour of Sky, I'd keep the BB as it's excellent, but imo we are missing out on so many good shows on Atlantic, that I feel I may need to move, I know that I can get Now TV but the pq is pants.

That's possible. Putting a temporary part-time channel into the 900s would attract minimal viewers but 163 is a good number. But VM had better make up their minds soon.
Hopefully you'll be supporting England, MediaBoy, as Scotland aren't in the Euros on this occasion?

Germany, France (After last Saturday Night) or Spain to win Euro 2016.

I will be supporting my Family tree.

Four channels was added last night to 'Total Channels' but no channels launch on the TV Guide.

I don't know, Max; there was a hint of more concentration on the TV side of the business in that recent Telegraph article. I'm pinning my hopes on that at the moment. Maybe some good news closer to Christmas....

But it's always Xmas, or coming soon, or when you speak to a Virgin agent you get the same old guff about being in negotiations with Sky OB, i'm just ****ed off about missing out on what I want to see, it really is frustrating!

You can always get that £20 six-month Now TV deal at Argos. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/4590602.htm

Don't get excited. I bet they're the BBC's additional sporting streams.

Is H2 HD still exclusive to VirginMedia?
