The odd thing about all this is that TSid104 has now been removed from the whole VM network overnight according to, the much more knowledgeable than me on this subject, jj20x on Forumbox. He was saying the migration of services completed from that multiplex with the moving of two versions of ITV HD. So what DBR is showing doesn't make a lot of sense.
Looking further down the DBR page there is evidence of the changes jj20x mentions on Forumbox. There are now two versions of TSid 102 (CO57 & CO59). On one version there used to be two versions of ITV, ITV+1,ITV HD, C4, C4+1, C4 HD, C4 AD. Half of those have shut on the CO57 version, but a new ITV HD has been added.
All these removals on CO57 mentioned above have moved to CO59, along with a new version of ITV Wales HD. JJ20X had been talking recently about VM dealing with regional differences in the network in Manchester and Wrexham and this seems to be it. They both have been split into two separate versions of the same multiplex, where they both used to be mostly crammed onto the one multiplex, with another being used for the overspill.
Obviously this all only affects a few VM customers, those in those two regions, but they will have to re-add their Favourites presumably, though I'm guessing it's the mostly customers who get the Wrexham region.

CO33 was broadcasting an channel named ITV HD (We forgot the name of the other one but that screengrab is BBC ONE) the last week until Virgin moved them to other streams (CO).

I know, I said that (or thought I was ) but used different words. My point was that that Tsid104 multiplex wasn't meant to be showing any more. And the graphs indicated the streams had just started on 13/15th. I just thought the whole thing was odd given none of it should have been showing up based on my understanding of the moves done.

The channels did not appeared in one day (Info from JJ20X and Forum Box) it happen over three days (Tuesday to Thursday.
Due to ITV being an so called local channel is best to keep your eyes on Forum Box and JJ20X for info on ITV HD Channels as DRB is just lists BBC One North West area (Liverpool).

I didn't say one day, hence "13/15th".
I have been reading JJ20X on Forumbox, I said that was why it was interesting the differences.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
I see JJ20X has addressed what I was on about on Forumbox 45 minutes ago. I'm happy to draw a line under it.
Ghost data ain't half pesky. VM need some proton packs!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
The "Ghost data" for BBC Two England, BBC One Scotland, BBC One and Two Wales, BBC One and Two N. Ireland, BBC Four and BBC News will be removed after December 4th. (Virgin did reveal you has one year to watch your any BBC Shows when they was axing them to give their slots to BBC HD Channels.)
The rest was moved when BBC Scotland HD was launched.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
JJ20X on Forumbox has posted that Sky Select HD has swapped with Sky Premiere +1 on the EPG. I've not had a chance to check.
So channel numbers 402 and 412 are swapping places.

Now this may be nothing, it could be DigitalBitRate not working, or simply me misinterpreting it....but all 4 versions of the multiplex that dealt with what I believed to be the Legacy VOD system may have been switched off or removed or something, overnight. There have been four versions of TSid 22113 on CO48, CO49, CO50 and CO51 and all of them haven't been updated on DBR this morning.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
RXTVlog on Twitter is saying Sky is launching two new channels, Sky Crime in October 2019 and Sky Comedy in February 2020.
Literally just read this so I'll see if I can see more.

They've posted the story to their website now.

The article has said some have speculated they may be replacements for Sky2 and Real Lives.
I find it odd a new crime channel is starting, given the how multiple channels exist and have even closed, suggesting the fad has either passed or the market is saturated.

Yes we shall know soon enough if they are replacements for Sky2 and Real Lives or they are two more new channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
Some snippets from the various sites regarding the 2 new Sky channels.
Quote:
It is worth noting that many of the shows featured on Sky Comedy currently are broadcast on Sky Atlantic, the broadcasters US-dedicated entertainment channel.
|
Quote:
Channel numbers for the new services will be announced in due course. It is currently unclear if the new channel launches will in fact replace Real Lives and Sky 2 on the Sky EPG, as there has been speculation that these channels would not be continuing and they're not mentioned in Sky's publicity today.
|
Quote:
Sky subscribers will gain access to these channel at "no extra cost", according to the pay TV operator. They will also become available on Now TV via the Entertainment Pass. Carriage on other platforms has not yet been confirmed.
