EPG Channel Name
830. Deutsche Welle TV
832. Leonardo - confirmed by tvboy
920. Radio: WRN Europe
971. Radio: Deutsche Welle Radio

these aint been confirmed it could even include oens i have missed but i was jsut told that the ones with lower ratings when teh carriage ends they will be removed which for most of them the carriage will probally end soon

as for new channels dmax+1 is unlikely to come for a few months to see how poplour dmax is if it poplour enough dmax +1 will probally come sumemr time

animecentral MIGHT come with pop girl end of janaury time but i think it iwll eb delayed until the summer until it ratings come upa bit but virgin are very interested in it

nuts tv might come as early as feburary

i dnt have any other information aprt from this so please dnt ask me i am under a lot of stress due to personal problems

I can't believe MotorsTV may be going. There coverage is great. Seems strange it is classed as lower rated. I will miss it.

I know that some radio channels are on Ex-Telewest in some parts of the UK and they will stay but will need to move all the BBC Radio channels that are only on NTL to new channels numbers so that all the Virgin Networks [ Ex-ntl and Ex-Telewest ] can have them.


If I miss any thing pm me and tell me and I will put it on every Sunday. [ I will post again later in the week if Virgin add or removed channels that week. ] - next update will be on the 6th of January.

tv boy as always you are doing a sterling job,well done.

What's going to happen in place of Classic FM TV? I've seen it's disappeared from the list but I hear that Omusic TV was going to take over. Any news about music channels?

Omusic TV has appeared on satellite which replaced Classic FM TV a couple of days after it ceased broadcasting, considering that VM dropped music channels Bliss, Scuzz & Flaunt in November I very much doubt that these or any new music channels will launch on VM in the near future as they seem to be plugging the music on demand content a lot more.

Did notice arsenal tv on sky ch 423 not on our virgin boxes yet.

[ken]

so arsenal tv as launched on sky. went live at 5 pm on ch 423 tonight i just come back from my mates house who got sky

[Ozzy3:16]

Are the music channels going to slowly disappear over time due to this On Demand channel???

I quite liked Bliss,Scuzz & Flaunt (Wanted the chart show channels as well)

What type of music is OMusic TV btw?
