120. BBC ALBA - Scotland only
120. ITVBe +1 - Not in Scotland or Wales
162. ITVBe +1 - Only in Scotland and Wales

Even though I wasn't thinking it this way, I've seen things recently that suggest the same for some of those, making the remainder likely too.

There is now an announcement page appearing on 360 boxes in the London area detailing the need to reset series links for BBC 4 (channel 107) from Tuesday 25th January and that BBC 1 SD will no longer be available from Wednesday 26th January. BBC 1 HD is moving to channel 101 to take its place.

Same here in the North West. It says to make way for BBC3.

That BBC4 info appears to back up MB's numbering. Though BBC have been reluctant to move BBC Scotland in the past, it's Ch9 and BBC4 is Ch24 on Freeview in Scotland, so I can see BBC4 being on 113 instead up here on VM.

It's nice to get a heads up on when changes are due. The BBC THREE HD pre-launch config. is still showing channel 107 for England & Northern Ireland and 157 for Scotland and Wales.

I know that official notification from Virgin did appear today. I was just reposting my post from last night that is on page 12 of this thread. So everyone can see the full story.

Someone a wee while back suggested that the TV360 owners need to change their Series Links but the Tivo-based systems won't in this particular instance, so that's possibly why the former might be getting notification and Tivo-based boxes aren't.

I don't know if this is the reason, but they are different in how they do things, that's for certain, so it wouldn't be that surprising.

Using TiVo:

Seen no information on BBC Four here in Scotland at half 7.

But I do note that BBC One London is still working after January 26th on Channel 861.
