As you can see it still has proper website unlike the UK.

Oops sorry - I think Syfy is run by Sky UK Limited is due to Brexit.

Or you could just find the reporting
https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2019...ets-in-europe/
Of note is the decision to fold NBCU’s UK PayTV channels, which include E!, Syfy and Universal TV, in with Sky’s broad-based portfolio of sports, movie and entertainment channels; and base them at Sky’s Osterley HQ. NBCU’s EMEA Networks team will also be located at the same West London site. In a similar move in Germany, Sky will become the parent company of NBCU’s Networks business.

I did see that link in 2019 but forgot about it.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
I was about to watch Escape to the Country on BBC channel 101 at 3 pm, it's showing on the list, but that's not what is on, anyone any idea why.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony ran a bit late?
It’s on now.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
Does anyone know why Eurosport 3 HD, 4 HD and 5 HD couldn't have been put on VM 523, 524 and 525 next to Eurosport 1 HD and 2 HD on 521 and 522?
Eurosport 4K could have been on the next available VM slot, which I think would have been 532 next to BT Sport 4K on 531.

They are temporary Winter Olympics channels so Virgin has just given them a same Discovery got for temporary Summer Olympics channels last year
But if BT Sport do merge with Discovery I think:
-Eurosport brand will get axe in the UK.
-BT/Discovery will be on Virgin Channels 521 to 525 with MUTV moving back to 526.

No changes were reported at the 6am refresh, so I guess the streams were still AWOL at that point. I did get a message sometime this morning saying they are back. Strange!

The old configurations are still in the system, even up to Eurosport 9HD, so probably easier not to change them. As I said previously the placeholder for Eurosport 6 HD was moved along with 3HD-5HD, so they are being kept together.

Following that logic, all of the MTV channels should have shut down at the end of 2021 when their listings stopped being updated on their website.

It all sounds vaguely familiar, as if the same conclusion has been drawn previously when the website listings ran out. I wonder if people do the same sort of thing when they notice the train timetables end on a specific date. I've not noticed lots of forum posts about the railways being closed down.

I think that's just the time when the DBR scanner checked the transport stream, the elementary streams could have been back earlier.

Moving back to 526? MUTV is already on 526, hence the opportunity for Eurosport 3 HD, 4 HD and 5 HD to slot in.

They must have been listening to you. My V6 is now showing them on 523/4/5 with 4K on 532.
