So if that is the case then why are you still a Virgin Media customer? as the mind boggles as to why you are still with them seeing you are a purveyor of everything streaming and nothing on the TV linear channels..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
I stopped watching Ginx after they switched their focus to eSports. I can understand it's an increasingly significant part of gaming, I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, I just would like other types of gaming programming.
The daftest thing for me was the programme of theirs I watched the most, Videogame Nation, wasn't shown on their own channel but Challenge. Sadly they cancelled the show a while back.

The ITV HD regions on the website used by jfman shows the ITV HD Wales & Granada regions migrating to MPEG4. Is this an indication that some other regions will have to wait for ITV HD to migrate to MPEG4 until the correct regional variation is made available?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Wikipedia says GINX is owned by Sky and ITV. So they part owners do NOT even have GINX in HD.

And just like some of our politicians there is a contradictory answer to the same question.

They obviously want to go HD before the new 80lb gorilla starts throwing its weight around in the New Year.

Ah OK, I’m in Livingston, ex-TW, which, I guess, must be a different part of the network.

Your confusion is the difference between data and analysis.
If it started raining outside and I told you to look out the window, you wouldn’t claim that I should credit the Earth for my observation you could equally verify.

No confusion, the website you mentioned seems to consist of pre-analysed data rather than raw data tables. I didn't see what the fuss was about. Your explanation seems to equate meteorological analysis to looking out of the window, the mind boggles.
