I've got them in Edinburgh have you tried a reset of your box?

Although recent additions are FTA on either Freeview or Freesat and I have been able to view these recent additions for years. I give credit to Virgin for adding channels that may be new to some subscribers.

A shopping channel it may be and I know some that enjoy viewing them.

New content for me would be Sony movies for example.

I count that as 43 new channel additions since the Olympics channels were removed, including several HD channels. That's excluding the new BBC HD regions, BBC RB channels and BBC Alba and S4C becoming available to all.

As for Sony Movies, you're not missing out because all the low bitrate movies shown on it are also shown on Sony TV too, repeatedly.

I think the next new channels to arrive are some of the missing Viacom channels including their HD ones, so pay channels.

I'll give it a go, but you don't normally need to do resets to get new channels.

The programme quality on Sky 1 and 2 has deteriorated of late - hardly watch anything on there now. For this reason, I hope that Sky Atlantic is one of the 'coming soon' channels. I can at least hope.

Actually a common issue. There is an option on TiVo boxes called TV Care that sorts out any channel problems.

I'm in Scotland. I've used it.

Home button then Help and Settings>Help>TiVo box>TV Care>Missing Channels from the menus.

TV Care has a PIN reset and a list of explanations of the functions as well as the missing channel restore.

isn't it about time this went back to being the CHANGELOG, and stopped being a general discussion thread.

Every time I see this updated I look expecting a new channel launch, instead I see some ejit with a fantasy channel wish or a problem with their box.

Well I never! Then again, I've never need the help section so didn't know that was there.

Thanks.

If it was, they'd have dramatically extended the EPG.

Drama starts of freeview on the 8th of July, there is some doubt as to when it will appear on pay tv platforms.
