I think that other channel will be one of the following:

1) An red button for Nat. Geo +1.
2) Maybe they are still testing an new channel on Ex-Telewest (History +1).

Virgin Media has only moved some of they Entertainment channels about and Sky has only got one Entertainment HD channel - Sky1 HD - so it cant be that.

I have noted when Virgin Media sign an new deal with MTV and Channel 4 they will need to moved Sci-Fi and Zone Reality to new channel numbers to make way for Paramount Comedy 2 +1 and More4 +1 to appear on their channel numbers.

More channel changes on Virgin from Tuesday of next week -

150 - Five US (was 185)
152 - Fiver (was 186)
157 - FX (was 179)
162 - Hallmark (was 190)
163 - Hallmark +1 (was 191)

I do not know if E! Entertainment, Zone Horror, Diva TV /+1, DMAX and MTV Â® will also be moving.

Info from Whats on TV.

Any idea on why the channel movement?

Media Boy UK · 25-11-2008, 17:09

So Virgin do not have to move them when their sign new deal with broadcasters -

Quote:

=== Before 2010 ===
Virgin Media to move some channels to new channel numbers to that they have room to put their +1 or HD Channel beside the main Channel. (Updated 21/08/08.)

- I 1st told everyone back in August.

Instead of faffing about moving entertainment channels so older folks phone up their family members asking where their favourite channels gone, they (VM) should move the channels for younger views to well before the adult channels as even when locked, those damn previews (which themselves are at least PG-13) still show up.

Or at the very least, any locked channels should be blocked totally from the epg

Anyway good work on the channel movements.

Why are (some) people getting so upset over a few changes on the EPG?? Is it that bad that you cant just look at the tv guide & find the channel you want. I think some people just like to have a moan about anything.
