Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
The Winter Olypmics actually starts on Wednesday so Tuesday makes sense.
No UHD programming until Friday though.

There were a few of events that started a couple days before the Opening Ceremony for the last Olympics, Friday could be the day of the Winter OC?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
It is the OC on Friday. GB are in Curling from Wednesday which is on ES1. Luge this week is not being shown anywhere it would seem.
I'd expect VM to add there 4 offerings by Wednsday.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
Rumour:
I am hearing that Channel 4 HD may move to Channel 104 (108 in Wales) by August.
Will that mean:
106. E4 HD (Replacing E4 SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
141. Channel 4 SD (Replacing Channel 4 HD - not on TV360 Boxes)
142. Channel 4 +1
143. 4Seven HD (Replacing 4Seven SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
144. E4 +1 (Moving from Channel 146)
145. More4 HD (Moving from Channel 147 - Replacing More4 SD - not on TV360 Boxes)
146. More4 +1 (Moving from Channel 196)
147. 4Music (Moving from Channel 337)

Or they could just remove the SD version, as they did in London.
Back to the drawing board?

Did they. I forgot to look at a EPG listing on my blog before posting.
My own ideal Virgin Media's EPG lineup.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
The bright green horizontal BBC Three HD logo looks good on the V6 box EPG. Looks tiny on the TV Control app though - they should have used the vertical one that Sky has used on their apps.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
I'm amazed those two Box channels are on the list. Thought they'd be on lowest package already.

4Music did launch on Freesat today and want FTA on Sky.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
The Box is the Mix pack or whatever the current equivalent is, Box Hits is "Fun" and 4Music is "Player". Do your own conversions to current names.
