Hallmark+1 will be of great benefit in avoiding conflicts with my favourite programmes on other channels, typically around the 9pm to midnight slots.
My box had been showing 292 channels for about a week or so but has reverted to 290 channels today. However, I didn't notice any changes to the EPG, although I was planning to look more carefully today. Too late!
Could it be that I had the extra channels but hidden from plain view?

Info from an Virgin Media Insider.

I was looking forward to Sci-Fi +1, it would have been quite useful. I wonder why we are not getting it, even though it is owned by the same company that owns Hallmark and Diva TV?

I think Virgin have two deals with NBC Universal:
1) For Sci - Fi signed before 2007 (Maybe paying two times per month).
2) For all the ex-Sparrowhawk Channels sign in October last year for Hallmark, Movies 24 and Diva TV plus all of their +1 channels.

Well then don't say on the other hand!
You say you get your information from magazines etc so it should all be public knowledge so how come you can't comment?
