Yikes. Those numerals look bad. Like someone's poor attempt at a mock up.

RUMOUR:

Just found this on Digital Spy Forum:

"Apparently, according to Netgem, Viaplay (Group) are to launch a new movie/entertainment channel & a app.

Reports also say it will cost a extra £3.99 a month or free if you pay for Viaplay Sports."

The Viaplay app has been available for some time and recently added to more devices.

It is on the Amazon Firestick and direct Premier Sports subscriptions work on it. Amazon show it's release date as Feb 2022.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

The Channel Guide website has always been a bit hit and miss, sometimes listing channels that have long since shut e.g. France24 French HD is listed on ch832 but it hasn't for a LONG time.

The current incarnation though has some of the changes spotted regards the moving of channels in the low 200s in the General Entertainment section.

I think there are still errors though. Great! TV is missing for example, but it's slot on Ch189 is taken by Crime+Investigation HD.

Other changes include 4Seven HD on Ch143 replacing the SD version, Blaze on ch199, Yesterday+1 ch217, CBS Reality ch218, HorrorXtra+1 ch219, Sky Witness+1 ch220, Sky Crime+1 ch221.

The changes has now happen but 4Seven HD is on Channel 193 - not 143 as listed on the Virgin Media UK web site.

Also base on my TiVo box Sky Cinema Drama HD will become Sky Cinema Christmas HD from November 12th, plus NOW 90s will become NOW Christmas from November 9th.

4Seven HD is on channel 143 on my Stream box.

In fact, Stream boxes probably could have done with having a bespoke slate for the changes. Out of the 8 channels listed on the info slate, 6 aren't available on Stream and 4seven HD is incorrect, leaving only 1 channel listed (Blaze) as both relevant and correct.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

Crime + Investigation HD is now on 198 (not 189 as it says in the Channel Guide, which is still Great! TV).

4SevenHD still on 143 on my 360 (that's due to the fact that it replaces the SD version on the 360).

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

Due to VM's slip up with the updated Channel Guides, by removing Great! TV from 189 and replacing it with Crime + Investigation HD, this also means that the Personal Picks document is now inaccurate.

V6 Channel Guides:
https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-t...-channel-guide

360 Channel Guides:
https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-t...-channel-guide

Personal Picks:

Despite all of this TV channel shuffling, E4 Extra is still (for now) in the wrong section of the EPG (Music).

I forgot about HD Channels being on SD Channels numbers on some boxes (V6, TV360 and Virgin Media Stream) until I started to update all boxes listing on my blog - after I posted on here last night.

Can I ask if I have a right listing for Virgin Media Stream:

PM me if it not a right one.
