The Winter Olypmics actually starts on Wednesday so Tuesday makes sense.

No UHD programming until Friday though.

There were a few of events that started a couple days before the Opening Ceremony for the last Olympics, Friday could be the day of the Winter OC?

It is the OC on Friday. GB are in Curling from Wednesday which is on ES1. Luge this week is not being shown anywhere it would seem.
I'd expect VM to add there 4 offerings by Wednsday.

Rumour:

I am hearing that Channel 4 HD may move to Channel 104 (108 in Wales) by August.

Will that mean:

106. E4 HD (Replacing E4 SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
141. Channel 4 SD (Replacing Channel 4 HD - not on TV360 Boxes)
142. Channel 4 +1
143. 4Seven HD (Replacing 4Seven SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
144. E4 +1 (Moving from Channel 146)
145. More4 HD (Moving from Channel 147 - Replacing More4 SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
146. More4 +1 (Moving from Channel 196)
147. 4Music (Moving from Channel 337)

Or they could just remove the SD version, as they did in London.

Back to the drawing board?

Did they. I forgot to look at a EPG listing on my blog before posting.

My own ideal Virgin Media's EPG lineup.

The tests for Eurosport's additional Olympic channels are now showing graphics confirming that Eurosport 3 will be for Ice Hockey, Eurosport 5 for Curling and Eurosport 4 for Figure Skating and Other Ice Sports.

The bright green horizontal BBC Three HD logo looks good on the V6 box EPG. Looks tiny on the TV Control app though - they should have used the vertical one that Sky has used on their apps.

Virgin press releases up to the usual standard of accuracy I see.

I'm amazed those two Box channels are on the list. Thought they'd be on lowest package already.

Media Boy UK · 01-02-2022, 16:17

Do anyone know what package is 4Music is on?

4Music did launch on Freesat today and want FTA on Sky.

epsilon · 01-02-2022, 16:31

The Box is the Mix pack or whatever the current equivalent is, Box Hits is "Fun" and 4Music is "Player". Do your own conversions to current names.
