Its only available as a RED button service on Freesat - so not a channel.
It will be testing during December on Freeview - but not available to the public until later. It was on Telewest when it originally launched. IIRC, apart from the World Cup matches they only showed old programmes and films not the then current ITV1 output. |

Space 1999 (I believe) was one on the HD programmes.
If 16:9 prints exist at ITV, why the hell do they show it on ITV4 in 4:3. |

I thought people wanted things in their original format. Which for "Space 1999" would be 4:3.
Whether this applies to Space 1999 is anyones guess. |

Some shows were shot in 16:9 but only shown on TV 4:3. Babylon 5 and the early series of ER spring to mind. They had their first outing in 16:9 when released on DVD.

Living 2 appears to have been rebranded as Living it.
And Movies 24 has (presumably temporarily) become Christmas 24. I also appear to have gained Disney Cinemagic - is this a promotion or has it been permanently moved to XL? |

New International Channel Spotted
Reason i put spotted not added is because someone else may have noticed it first.
ZING has appeared on Channel 811 of the EPG on Virgin Media. ZING Is an international Extra Subscription Channel and is not available by default in any package. Also SKY CHRISTMAS is located on Channel 412. Movies 24 Temporarily as Christmas 24 on Channel 424, Movies24+ is still as Movies24+ on Channel 425. |

Living it +1 is a million miles from Living it, why is that?

The same can also be said for LIVING +2 as it replaced Trouble, so is in it's EPG position on both VM and Sky. |

Check this yourrself, Press Settings > Technical Stuff > PG Down > PG Down > Should be located on screen. TS Streams... I know that channel list that Virgin puts out in it's on-line magazine is not right as I do not have History+1 But we do have two extra ITV1 as we are in place were three ITV1 by DTT So it's only fair that we have the option to see our normal region, I would add it would be nice to have the same with BBC One too. It would nice to see how many cable area's have different channels from each other, when we were told that after Telewest and NTL got together under the name of virgin which hired at first, that all would be matched. |

....yep, Sky Sports Extra has changed into Sky Sports 4 on Ch 516. I'd imagine a channel number change soon too.
