108 BBC Four
That will also happen in England.

In Scotland and Wales BBC Four will stay on Channel 107 and BBC Three will launch on Channel 157.

@epsilon All tests are using CO71.
It wasn't actually BBC Red Button 5, they just happened to use a SID number that is currently used for the BBC Red Button 5 placeholder. So Virgin are using the same transport stream as previously used for Eurosport UHD and the BBC RB pop-ups. TS11 seems to be the go to location for pop-up channels and seems to be kept free of full time channels. The transport streams previously used for Eurosport HD pop-ups (512 & 515) have been filled with normal channels since they were last used by Eurosport, so I didn't expect them to show up on there.

If you want to watch out for Zee TV HD it should appear as a new service, initially without a service name, on one of the HD transport streams.

I am keeping a eye on one of a following UK Wide HD streams:

CO55 as slot 6 is free.
CO56 as slot 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 is free.
CO61 as slot 10 is free.
CO63 as slot 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 is free.
CO64 as slot 9 and 10 is free.
CO65 as slot 8 and 10 is free.
CO72 as slot 6 is free.
CO74 as slot 10 is free.
CO75 as slot 9 and 10 is free.

I did see that all channels listed on CO01 is not posted on DBR.

Yes channel 1 doesn't seem to be working but channel 1 in Manchester is transport stream 7, which is SD, so you can ignore it if looking for Zee TV HD.

---------- Post added at 19:43 ---------- Previous post was at 19:35 ----------

By the way, I've been told that the BBC RB placeholders have been moved to SIDs 1152 to 1157, so are out of the normal range for future additions. Eurosport 3-6 HD have been moved to transport stream 11 but 6 HD has been given SID 1158 as it isn't required for the Winter Olympics. Eurosport UHD shows as EPG channel 523, which is the same as last time.

I did give Eurosport UHD an EPG Channel 523 on my blog early tonight when I was updating my blog.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

Was looking through the 1080p BBC iPlayer support list again just now and I've noticed Virgin has been added since I last looked at the beginning of January.

Surprisingly I don't recognise the model numbers EOS-1008C and EOS-1008R, it doesn't say the customer brand names, but it says 2018 for both, so I'm guessing it's different hard disk sizes for the V6 model. There's no mention of anything newer or older so there's been no update for the Original VM Tivo or TV360 box versions of iPlayer (unless they've not yet been added to the webpage). The Original VM Tivo may not get updated though, it struggles as it is I understand, and there's probably not enough users left to justify expense and time.

I think I've noticed a difference on my V6 recently, so I'm not surprised by these being added to the listing.

Those are the Humax 360 boxes ("R" is the recordable one)

Thanks spiderplant.

So the 2018 model year on the BBC webpage means replacement hardware was in the VM plans for a lot longer than many of us may have expected? Given the similarity to the V6 hardware, and that the latter can be upgraded to TV360 software, I think a fair few of us thought the new Humax internal hardware was a late change in plans.

I keep forgetting about the optional extra mini boxes for TV360 .

Yes you are right.

But BBC Four HD will move to Channel 108 around Midnight on Monday Night if you live in England or Northern Ireland - see list for full list of changes set to happen on Tuesday and Friday.

Just suggesting the changes to individual identities may already have been made for everyone, the number change can happen separate of it. EPG number changes don't normally require re-Favouriting in my experience.

Sky will also have the UHD feed for SkyQ and Sky Glass - but access for satellite viewers is only via red button and menus.
