Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
There's only one UHD channel there. There's three listings but all have the same video and audio IDs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
When BBC One and BBC Two SD Channels was axe last December 4th on Channels 101 and 102. Virgin did confirm you has 12 months to view any recordings.
Virgin Media did axe Lifetime SD Channel on May 14th 2019 so you may have until May 14th 2020 to watch any current recordings before Virgin removed the channel from "Total Channels".

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
I didn't notice the logic at first but this Alibi HD move, to just below W HD (211/212), mirrors the SD versions of them on 125/126 and the +1s on on 190/191.

Good news, just need Drama HD now.
However, why cant VM just do a like for like swap on the epg with All the SD channels and their HD equivalents, so to bump them all up higher in the epg? Obviously only for customers with an HD package (XL/Full House/Maxit and higher). This is something Sky managed to do years ago and without upsetting the SD only customers.

Probably some limitation in the way the Tivo software works, or a legacy problem in the cable network. If they finally decide to launch the Horizon software Liberty Global use in their European operations in UK maybe this will be coded in a way that allows it.

Or maybe you could just select the HD only stuff from the EPG in the menu instead of 'all channels'.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
VM are still advertising The Feed as starting tonight at 9pm on Virgin TV Ultra HD... on channel 228. The EPG swap with Amazon Prime Video still hasn't happened though. Ooops!

WHY DO I THINK DISCOVERY IS SET TO AXE TRAVEL CHANNEL?
-Discovery has axe Travel Channel to make way for DMAX to launch on Freeview.
-Discovery has now axe Travel Channel +1 to make way for the soon to launch Quest (Ireland) to launch on Sky. Why not use an old Good Food slot?

The Good Food satellite transponder space seems to have remained with UKTV, as Really and Home are due to move frequency soon.
