EPG reshuffle on 26th July 2016
GOLD moves to 124
W moves to 125 Alibi moves to 126 Dave moves to 127 Drama moves to 128 Really moves to 129 Alibi+1 moves to 130 W+1 moves to 131 BBC4 HD moves to 163 GOLD+1 moves to 190 Dave Ja Vu moves to 211 Basically making room for Drama and Really up the top end of the EPG with the other UKTV channels but losing the tidiness of having the +1's next to their main channels. Sky Sports 1 HD moves to 501 Sky Sports 2 HD moves to 502 Sky Sports 3 HD moves to 503 Sky Sports 4 HD moves to 504 Sky Sports 5 HD moves to 505 Sky Sports News HQ HD moves to 506 Sky Sports F1 HD moves to 508 Sky Sports 1 moves to 511 Sky Sports 2 moves to 512 Sky Sports 3 moves to 513 Sky Sports 4 moves to 514 Sky Sports 5 moves to 515 Sky Sports News HQ moves to 516 Sky Sports F1 moves to 518 Back how they used to be, before changing them to the illogical numbers in order to make Sky Sports News HQ more prominent. |

But why would they do this again?
Even with those changes you listed above? What space does that make in the early hundreds? for any new channel launches perhaps? That is the only reason why they would need to reshuffle again because of new channel launches? |

Good to see the Sky Sports channels back to where they were. It always made my brain hurt to think that Sky Sports 2 (I don't have HD) was on 513.

It's going to be such a mess, it's so neat right now, and the random BBC4HD is going to make it horrendous, at least keep all the +1s together if you're going to separate them!

New channel launches is not the only reason for a reshuffle - this is about UKTV wanting Really and Drama higher up the TV guide than the +1s so that, theoretically, they should get more viewers than currently

I quite often find +1 channels handy. But as for this reshuffle it looks like an unnecessary inconvenience done so UKTV can try to boost a couple of channels which I suspect are struggling.

How many people actually watch these +1 channels? Most digital channels get tiny audiences anyway so their timeshifted versions must get even less.

I suggested some time ago that they move Really out of the Lifestyle section on 283 and up into the Entertainment section on 211, but rather than make that simple change they have decided to reshuffle lots of their channels to get Really and Drama up the top of the EPG. Now the +1's will be all over the place, with seemingly no logic to their ordering. They won't be in the same order as the main channels, that would have made some sense. |

It will indeed be to give them a boost, but they certainly aren't struggling, Drama is now the second-biggest non-PSB operated TV channel in the UK.

This has now happened.
Now you see it on the EPG, the placement of UKTV's channels really is a mess now. The main channels are fine but all the +1's and HD channels are scattered all over the place and in a seemingly random order, much worse than before. |

What do you mean by 'Most Digital Channels'? You do realise that all UK TV channels are Di9gital don't you?
