All ITV Quiz programmes are already showing on existing channels, so don’t get too worried.

Grey Horse sounds more like the name of a pub!

Maybe it will be a red button channel where we can watch people drink. Perhaps sponsored by Wetherspoons... God help us!

@RichardCoulter

Islam Channel Urdu is still broadcasting on SkyQ/Freesat HD.

[Inactive Digital]

It's still broadcasting on my Stream box. It's not the first time VM has missed adding a closure slate on the platform.

GreyHorse is the Red Button service accessed from Sky Sports Racing (#519)

Other than those, the 2 digit range is mainly used for internal services, NVOD Adult/Sports channels etc. The 4 digit channel number series seems to be used for placeholder services for channels no longer broadcasting and for inactive pop-up channels. Info from UKCTVC.

Indeed. As I said previously, red button services don't display their service name, so it doesn't really matter what Virgin calls them. I guess "Premier Greyhound Racing" would be a bit long for a service name (I haven't checked the character limit for service names).

VM has replaced the Sky Max HD logo with the non HD version in both the TV Guide (V6) and TV Control app.

Are we about to see the channel downgraded to SD? ��
