Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
How can you relaunch a new stream?
They probably are moving an existing one. If it was 7 HD streams I might have ventured to suggesting it was Eurosport 3-9 for the Olympics as have appeared in testing on Satellite.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
Must be a move, I can't see them adding 29 new channels!

1) The multiple dashes and lack of bitrates indicate that this isn't set up for tv.
2) The flat zero bitrate graph confirms that no streams are present.
3) It states that it is tsid 11, which is already being used elsewhere for the BBC Red Button Streams.
4) The sid numbers listed don't follow Virgin's usual pattern. They would be sid 1101 etc for tsid 11. Look at the other listings for the pattern.
5) It is outside the channel / frequency range currently being used. Check the channel C--- numbers.
Having said that, I expect that the Eurosport Olympics streams would be added very shortly if Virgin is actually going to carry them. Digitalbitrate seems to be showing multiple errors nowadays, so use it with caution.

Is there a Sky Sports UHD channel? I thought the UHD content was on demand only. I will check that out with my daughter, who has Sky.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
It is an occasionally service available via a red button or menu - it is not an EPG channel. It has two different streams on Sky.
