We are now starting to think that:
-Comedy Central HD will move from Channel 181 to Channel 132.
-MTV HD will move from Channel 183 to Channel 134.

I do not know why Virgin are moving the SD Channel of Channel 5 to Channel 154 for after all Virgin do carry an Channel 5 AD Channel on Virgin Channel 855.

I think there are many who don't know the Audio Description versions are there, and others who think the talking is there all the time and don't realise you have to toggle it on so they're basically normal Standard Definition channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
Love to see the 2020 thread already.
I'm hoping for some 4k/UHD channels, Disney+ & Apple TV

Why? I know Apple have form, but the first rule of launching a streamer is to get in as many subscritions as possible by getting on as many platforms as possible. Apple + is on the Roku already so it is clearly not being made available exclusively via Apple products.
I expect Apple + to appear on Virgin and BT some time in 2020, and Disney + on Sky, Virgin and BT close to the launch date.

What about Sky Atlantic? Do we all agree that it will not trouble the V6's EPG in 2020?
