There's also two New Sans Noms on that multiplex/frequency.
One is Cartoonito as I can see the logo in the DBR screengrab, and the other is showing an advert in its screengrab. My guess is it's Fox as it will be the only 24hr channel left on Tsid15/C053 once Cartoonito moves.
So I'd guess Cartoonito and Fox will move this week based on previous experience.

Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
FIVE new channels now testing on CO32.
Five new channels are now testing on CO32 (SID) 902 to (SID) 906 we think it for BBC Red Button.
---------- Post added at 10:49 ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 ----------
We have now also found an other channel testing on CO32 (SID) 901 we think that is for BBC Red Button HD.
Look like someone at Virgin HQ is playing games - the EPG on (SID) 901 says "Let`s Scramble"

Re: Channels switched to MPEG4
Fox & Cartoonito have indeed switched over to MPEG4 and moved multiplex/frequency.
Other moves include ITVBe (already MPEG4), Virgin Movies & Store and Paramount Network SD.
These, as usual, will need reFavourited.

Any time now, if the presumed end date of the existing carriage deal is anything to go by.
Hazarding a guess, I would say July or August.

Seeing the last one was done in May 2014 then May 2019 has already been and gone.

However, due to the secrecy around all of this, no-one can be absolutely definitive about any of it.
Back on topic, does anyone know whether the MPEG4 implementation is responsible for the occasional pixelation that is now appearing on some channels?

No, it isn't. But the associated frequency moves might have moved channels that you watch to frequencies where you have a signal fault. Whatever, if you have pixellation, you need to report it to VM.

Thanks, spiderplant. It's only occasional at the moment, so I'll see how it goes.

I had quite bad pixellation on a few channels especially BBC Scotland amongst other. Reported it and the engineer when he arrived mentioned that the signal was awful and he was surprised we weren't having more issues.
Signal was fine coming in so he replaced all the cables and wall box (internal) as it had been in 20 years. Also removed the splitter that originally went upstairs, now all good.
As SP said - worth giving them a ring.

Just to clarify. You specified that the wall box replaced was internal, was the replaced cabling inside AND outside then?
If outside, did they notice any visible damage?
Thanks in advance.
