If they feel the is a need for any of the shows they will move them to another channel as they did with "Chuck" to Living.

Fine but was there an on-screen message or is there one now?

I think the general expectation is that the best shows from those deceased channels as well as Channel One (formerly Virgin1) will be spread across the remaining ex-Virgin Media TV channels and probably also Sky Atlantic in the case of some US programming.

Interestingly, the ex-Virgin Media TV channels are now owned by Living TV Group (see also Channel One (UK TV channel)).

ITV1 Granada+1 has joined the EPG in North West England on channel 114 and begins broadcasts at 2000 tonight.

I understand ITV Broadcasting Ltd has been granted 6 licences by OFCOM to cover these areas so you will get the relevant 'sub region' : -

1. ITV1 Central+1
2. ITV1 Granada+1 (Granada/Border)
3. ITV1 London+1
4. ITV1 Meridian+1 (Meridian/Anglia)
5. ITV1 West+1 (West/Westcountry/Wales)
6. ITV1 Yorkshire+1 (Yorkshire/Tyne Tees)

STV+1 and UTV+1 are also testing on satellite, I assume in anticipation of a launch.

Not that it affects any VM customers but ITV Channel Television is not providing a +1 service for their ITV1 broadcasts.

It has an ''This is stv +1'' sign up with music.

EPG says it starts at 8pm tonight.

douglasross · 11-01-2011, 13:54

UTV+1 is also on 114 in Northern Ireland

mersey70 · 11-01-2011, 16:55

Looks like all VM customers are covered then.

For once in their lives the ITV Network have done something together, miracles can happen!

By all accounts there isn't a freeview slot in the Channel Islands so it's no real surprise it isn't launching there.

mersey70 · 12-01-2011, 10:26

EuroNews (620) is now widescreen and has updated it's presentation graphics.

Oops! The sort of thing one could easily miss if one always views the Guide through Favourites. ITV1+1 now added to Favourites. Thanks for the info.

Hopefully some of the content will be redistributed amongst the remaining former VMTV channels and SkyAtlantic which I personally thinks we will get fairly soon.

The New viewing cards infomation channel (I forgot it real name) has been removed from Channel 997.
