A waste of time for you maybe - but SOME people DO care about these things (not me I hasten to add)..... So I don't think it's a waste of time, you don't NEED to bother with the thread if it bothers you that much

Re: Channel renumbering - your views.

Just saw an advert on Universal telling Virgin viewers it's moving to channel 137 next Thursday, so that's one confirmed move.

Re: Channel renumbering - your views.

I am a bit confused (which isn't hard), were the SyFy/Universal channels the only movements or are there more happening?
