Sky Sports F1 has appeared as a Coming Soon channel on 516.

It's been there since Thursday night

Sky Sports HD1 and Sky Sports HD2 are now called Sky Sports 1HD and Sky Sports 2HD on the EPG.

There is also now a new logo on Sky Sports 1HD and Sky Sports 2HD

Just noticed this is no longer on the EPG - no ones mentioned it as far as I can see (must have been a well watched channel!).
Did a search and found a wiki entry that states it ceased on 21st February

And why are you so happy, I used to watch this channel a lot and miss it?

From at least last night, Sky Sports f1 has been showing a short promo loop (a different one to the 5 min loop on satellite.)

Not sure if anyone has noticed but channel 554 is gone as well as 155 from the epg

Channel 155 was Current TV which "closed on March 11, 2012 following BSkyB's withdrawal of support and a failed rescue attempt from Current TV".

Eurosport 3D now on channel 523.

This is for the French Open (tennis) starting Monday.

I wonder if it will then stay on caption or drop out for a few weeks - before the Olympic coverage?

Eurosport are advertising 3D as being available for the Olympics, so I suppose Virgin will just keep a channel open for it.

BBC News Multiscreen no longer available on cable or sattelite

Alibi +1 has moved to channel 194 and Alibi HD is now on channel 131 with a information screen.

Alibi HD will be on channel 131 from the 3rd of July

Alibi+1 has moved from 131 to 194

Another sensible move up the EPG. Come on Virgin pull out the old finger and rearrange this mess!

They should merge SD & HD versions of channels then give you the one you subscribe to.

Put the terrestrial 5 on 191/192/193/194/195 for the time being until they get their regions & adverts sorted.

Then there is no need for channels being miles away from their parent unless some clever dick starts doing some other timeshift.

I agree I have been saying this for a long time now

HD channels should be displayed on HD boxes unless there is not a SD version then the SD version then appears on HD boxes

SD channels should ONLY appear on SD boxes without any HD channels on there,
there should be one channel only with a message saying for HD channels please upgrade to a HD box

I don't mind HD channels getting better slots on HD receivers (I have Tivo myself) but I still want to have SD versions at the moment for storage of recordings.

SD versions are also handy for watching certain old shows that aren't in the correct aspect ratio on HD. Shows like The Simpsons have ugly black lines at the side on HD on pre HD episodes.

Can we please limit this thread to changes that have taken place on the VM platform and link to other threads to discuss- thanks.

Some Music channels have changed packages recently

4Seven now on channel 195 and PBS has been renamed PBS America on channel 243.

I assume Q being rebranded Heat today an also be added to the changes.
