That’s just silly, MB. You’ll have to sign up to everything before much longer.

If you want to see the programme, just sign up and be done with it!

Virgin Media UK has given MTV 80s and MTV 90s new channel numbers.

313. MTV 80s (Was set to be on Virgin UK Channel 316.)
316. MTV 90s (Was set to be on Virgin UK Channel 313.)

Last deal was signed in October 2019. https://mediaboyblog.blogspot.com/20...gin-media.html

More musical chairs last night as MTV 80s returned to 316 and MTV 90s returned to 313. Maybe Virgin unsigned the new deal.

Same order as Sky now - MTV 90 then 80s.

If anyone wants a clue as to why they actually returned to their original channel numbers. These are the channel numbers used on MTVs on screen promos. Oops! did Virgin move them without agreement?

Next time it might be a good idea to get rid of 316 and move whatever they were going to put there to 314. But unlikely, what's the point of an EPG without gaps?

Might be BBC Alba HD since all the others are done, bar the AD ones.

Maybe not.

14XX are all PPV or "This channel has move" information channels.

---------- Post added at 00:32 ---------- Previous post was at 00:11 ----------

If may turn out to be DAZN PPV Channel for their Golden Boy Promotions, Matchroom Boxing and Brave Combat Federation rights.

I wouldn't like to guess but it is outside the normal range of SID numbers so could actually just be an internal test. Test 1405 & Test 1406 aren't PPV and jump between being DVB-C streams on TSID 514 and being EPG linked IPTV services on TSID 30 (which is not a proper transport stream). A bit beyond the scope of this thread.

That why I did say "If may turn out to be".

I can't see BBC Parliament HD launching until after Easter Weekend as BBC Parliament is set to broadcast BBC News from Friday at 6pm.

Oh, I know that. This sort of service is one where I'd just wait for more info before trying to make a guess. Test 1405 is just a duplicate of Nat Geo (SD) and Test 1406 a duplicate of Gold HD, both used for internal testing and not for customer use - both currently in their TS 30 IPTV formats. Test 1420 may be something similar... or not. If it is going to be an internal test it doesn't really matter what is being carried.
