He then dismissed the answer as incorrect, preferring to misinterpret the information he had received from someone who had scanned cable frequencies into a tv set. As I stated, he was asking a question about the NIT and then made up an incorrect solution based, not on the NIT but on the SDT.

The problem with this, and the reason for the tone of my reply was that the person who had spent time scanning and analysing the data saw MB's dismissal of their findings. Hardly encouraging for someone who has no interest in this forum, suffice to say they won't be helping out in future. Unfortunate, as the whole reason I asked for their help in the first instance was to help counter the inaccurate "TV scan" based information provided by MB with accurate information based on analysis of the NIT.

I've now been told the identity of the extra service added to the "Total Channels" count, again, it wasn't what MB suggested. Unfortunately, I've now been asked not to post the details on this forum.



Again, if and when this service is added to the regional networks, I won't be given clearance to post that information here. Unfortunate but it is what it is.. so, back to inaccurate speculation.

Our Sources told us not to post all the "Raw" information month ago - that why we do not post any photos for.

We did not "dismissed the answer" we really did think Hidden 53 may have reappear after being removed - like BBC 3 did on Virgin Channel 106 - sorry but we put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.

All channels launches has been poor.

Not even one of them has been "must watch TV".

But it didn't and why on earth would it reappear? You failed to understand the purpose of "Hidden 23" which was a placeholder on transport stream 23 whenever the transport stream fell dormant. It used to be a pop-up transport stream, only appearing when extra capacity was needed to carry services such as the BBC Olympics channels. Now that it carries normal on-going tv services, the transport stream won't have dormant periods and no longer needs to carry a "hidden" service.

And "Hidden 53"? really? there isn't a transport stream 53 to hide, there's 48; 1-45, 101, 102 & 104 plus any tests in the 300 range that may be operating in some regions.

I think maybe you put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5 a little too often.

Fox news isn't going to be on VM until at least first quarter of 2017 sources say.

Ah, that'd be Sky Atlantic!

My personally opinion of VM this year has been very poor. No *new channels* price increases etc. And l am sure there will be more in 2017.

I can never understand how the owners or directors, can sleep at night. With the way customers have been treated this year.

Well, if not Sky Atlantic, what exactly is this 'most watched TV' that we are missing on Virgin Media? I don't honestly think we are missing much!

Just Sky Atlantic. That is all.
