I don't get very much information for Stream and don't have the channel numbers for the new or pre-existing services.

Stream follows the same channel numbers as the V6/360 platform.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
There's an unusual situation I discovered on my Stream box tonight.
Food Network isn't available as a linear channel and on demand content isn't listed in the Catch Up or Boxsets sections. But searching for individual programmes results on viewable on demand content. I wonder if this is a sign the channel could be added to Stream boxes soon.

That’s the way it’s going, whether we like it or not.

Watch out Sky - EE unveils new way to watch TV that brings back most-wanted feature
EE is taking aim at Sky with a new TV box that offers a swathe of features including the ability to record right on the device itself.
Sky is about to get a new rival that is bringing back a very popular feature. EE - which is most famous for its speedy mobile network -has just announced the launch of its new TV Box Pro at an event in London. It gets all the functions you'd expect - including access to streaming apps - but it also packs an in-built hard drive for storing content and even recording four shows at the same time.
Although Sky Q has long had this functionality, more recent gadgets such as Sky Glass and Sky Stream have moved away from physical hard disks with content now held on the cloud instead.

I think Virgin have stopped adding +1 channels, CNN HD is the most likely channel to launch , Boomerang depends if they are phasing out the channel in the UK aswell and replace the HD version with Cartoonito
