Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

Virgin Media UK has today relaunch an new stream - CO36.

And is testing with 29 unknown channels. Maybe Virgin Media are set to move CO58 to CO 36.

CO 58: https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.p...ve=209&lang=en

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

How can you relaunch a new stream?

They probably are moving an existing one. If it was 7 HD streams I might have ventured to suggesting it was Eurosport 3-9 for the Olympics as have appeared in testing on Satellite.

Must be a move, I can't see them adding 29 new channels!

CO 58: https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.p...ve=209&lang=en
Look like CO 36 will become the new home for CO 88 (Same SID numbers)

CO 88: https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.p...ve=209&lang=en

It WILL NOT be CO 58 - That stream only have 28 channels on it.

All that shows is that the digitalbitrate tuners are picking up errors. The SID numbers look like Freeview SID numbers, I don't know how that could happen but it isn't the first time that this sort of thing has shown up on that site.

1) The multiple dashes and lack of bitrates indicate that this isn't set up for tv.
2) The flat zero bitrate graph confirms that no streams are present.
3) It states that it is tsid 11, which is already being used elsewhere for the BBC Red Button Streams.
4) The sid numbers listed don't follow Virgin's usual pattern. They would be sid 1101 etc for tsid 11. Look at the other listings for the pattern.
5) It is outside the channel / frequency range currently being used. Check the channel C--- numbers.

Having said that, I expect that the Eurosport Olympics streams would be added very shortly if Virgin is actually going to carry them. Digitalbitrate seems to be showing multiple errors nowadays, so use it with caution.

Is there a Sky Sports UHD channel? I thought the UHD content was on demand only. I will check that out with my daughter, who has Sky.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

It is an occasionally service available via a red button or menu - it is not an EPG channel. It has two different streams on Sky.

Well spotted. It will be QVC Extra apparently, a new (to Virgin) shopping channel.
