Re: Virgin Media Changelog

My V+ box is currently updating.
Any idea what might have changed in that, or do you only track channel changes - in which case where should I be looking ?

(edit: this appears to be a nationwide system outage, but the question about somewhere to track versions of STB firmware applies)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

For anyone who is missing the pay-per-night adult channels which have been removed, don't panic! They are still available in TV ON Demand.

Sky Sports 4 has been licensed. Should be on this year, taking over Sky Sports Xtra.

Would it need to be licensed just to replace SSX (effectively just a name change in that case). Sky need to be launching a new channel due to the increase in red button content, not replacing SSX.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

I agree, but I did hear the possibility is Extra just becoming a proper channel, instead of an extra addition.

In other news, (something I DID post earlier, but hasnt shown) is Sky Movies on Virgin Media .

All of the channels, apart from the Family channel has been renamed.

There is an extra Space between the "Sky" and the Channel Name.

I believe this is so the new PIN system can be introduced, which I must admit, is brilliant.
