Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Yes but not all regions have their own regional ITVHD so it wouldn't be possible to show local news on 103 for everyone

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
I wish that could happen. I nearly always forget to switch to the hd variant of channel because they are usually placed on obscure channels.

Good point you've made, but say if they had all the local HD variants available 
Better example would be Channel 4 as it's limited to National news

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Why don't VM move SyFy next to SyFy HD and +1 instead of moving Comedy Central Extra? I really hope they do a complete EPG overhaul once we get BBC One HD, the Sky Basics HD and all the ITV channels because there's no longer a need for Living and Virgin1/Channel One to be so high up and displace the popular digital channels along with their timeshifts and/or HD simulcasts.

Media Boy has a very nice line-up idea.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Yeah I've read MB's guide before, but in my opinion all the UKTV channels are more popular than all the channels Sky just bought so they should be given prominence, especially as that is all Virgin owns now broadcasting wise. Plus the guide was made prior to the ITV 2, 3 & 4 HD announcements which would move a lot of things.
I don't know why VM don't do a mass overhaul, Telewest didn't have a problem when they added channels 1 to 99 and completely changed multiple channels numbers. I think they may be planning something that cuts down on all the +1 and HD variants with the TiVo box, but I'm probably wrong.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Can you remember what the EPG was like before everything got moved around, that was a real mess. I see that there is quite a lot of space on 180 through to 200 it is a shame that they are moving Comedy Extra so far away form the others surely they could jiggle something around or move all the Comedy Central Channels as i love flicking through them and so does the Mrs.

Personally, I'd move all those to the very end of the EPG; Virgin got rid of a lot of junk channels to Sky in my view And we got HD in return

That would drive me mad! I wish they would put all the HD channels together and not mixed in with the rest. If I have ITV2HD I have no need to for ITV2.
Can you imagine the movie channels if it went..
Movies Prem
Movies Prem HD
Movies Action
Movies Action HD
Would be nice if there could be large blocks on HD channels at the end of each section of channels
