Not that I'm aware of, but 16 CIN streams would be quite a lot.
I think that, going forward, the BBC will use the connected red button for any new streamed content. Connected red button streams would not need SDT records.

I can't think what they could be then unless they're for local or international stations but i doubt it.

Local stations would probably be on one of the local transport streams.
They could all simply be VM internal services. 16 internal services moved from TSID 1 to TSID 104 a while back and, oddly, ghost data was retained on TSID 1. Maybe this is just another relocation.
They didn't use cryptic "test" service names for the move from TSID 1 to TSID 104, so that part seems unusual, they simply updated the SDT as each service was migrated. I guess it's just one to watch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
I wonder if they are going to give each Worldbox channel its own EPG number to increase awareness & subscription fees??
Anyone know how many channels that has? I can't currently check as all my tuners are in use, not sure why it needs a tuner for internet delivered content...

39? it would be a bit messy to list them all on the EPG.
Are you watching internet delivered content or just "on demand"? Or are you referring to Worldbox being internet delivered?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Yes, it's an app.
It should work even if all tuners are in use as long as you go via Apps & Games.
The Worldbox channel > Red Button route needs a tuner free

I was trying to select Worldbox on EPG number 834, useful to know that I can get it to work without a tuner if need be- cheers Ben.
If there are 39 channels on it, maybe they're just putting the ones that don't require an extra subscription, or only the ones that do to drive up subscribers, I can't imagine that many use it at all, never mind pay extra for it!

Ok, anything accessed from the EPG is using DVB infrastructure, so needs a tuner.

I'm not a big fan of linking apps to the EPG, sure it would be a shop window to display extra IPTV channels but the type of content is limited to a relatively small audience. The majority of VM viewers simply won't care that Russian, Arabic etc language channels are available. Making them more visible won't really change that.

Is this the case for all Tivo streaming apps?
