That's what I thought

So maybe Virgin will give iptv 200 numbers

Perhaps. The current pre-launch range of gateway slates is using channels 451-470 (don't try checking, they aren't yet available on customer equipment), quite possibly, just being used for testing / configuration. I'm not sure though how accessing a selection of channels via gateway slates, or portals, or whatever you prefer to call them, is any better than accessing them directly through an app. I guess it adds to their "visibility".

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
Confirmed TNT Sports will be on XL package on Virgin Media UK - for now
The channels will remain in the same EPG slots on VM and pricing will also remain the same for now.

I feel TNT Sports will be on the XL Package until end of season 2025/2026 - that when BT Sport with EPL is up.
The 2022/2023 to 2025/2026 tv rights was given to all EPL rights holders base on the EPL UK rights from 2019/2020 (BT Sports, Sky Sports and Amazon) due to Covid 19.

There hasn’t been an announcement on that, Vince.
I thought Pluto TV was already on the V6. If I remember correctly, it was accessible through the My5 app, but that may have changed.
Given that Virgin will want to encourage customers to get their telly through the 360 box, they may be using this as an incentive to change, or maybe the streamer is not compatible with the V6. If compatibility is the problem, maybe you will get the FAST channels through your EPG, but just guessing now.

Pluto TV is already available on the V6 through its own stand alone app.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
These two were the wrong way round in this thread - CI ended up on 133/333 and Sky History on 131/331. Blog was correct
4th. Virgin Media UK to move Crime & Investigation HD from Virgin UK Channel 198 to Virgin UK Channel 131.
4th. Virgin Media UK to move Sky HISTORY HD from Virgin UK Channel 270 to Virgin UK Channel 133.
4th. Virgin Media UK to move Crime & Investigation +1 from Virgin UK Channel 222 to Virgin UK Channel 331.
4th. Virgin Media UK to move Sky HISTORY +1 from Virgin UK Channel 271 to Virgin UK Channel 333.

Makes more sense, Sky History is before Crime + Investigation on Sky

And they have changed Tiers too, if not overnight then fairly recently, as they weren't available on my TV Package previously.

Virgin change them around after last Thursday night - I did not know until the changes want LIVE.
Also I can confirmed that in Scotland STV +1 is still on Channel 114 so we have Alibi HD and STV +1 using Channel 114.

STV+1 isn't on my TV360 box here in Dunfermline - it's Alibi HD. STV+1 isn't on the EPG at 303 either.
Not on others either: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...1/td-p/5358844
Possibly a glitch - time will tell!
