I suggest everyone remembers their manners.No one HAS to read MB's post/thread and therefore you don't have to comment needlessly about what he posts.

This.
Several posts have been removed, and several users banned from the topic for a day.
If you find reading MB's posts frustrating, then go read something else instead, no need to be ignorant.

I'm just surprised they didn't make their escape sooner.

It's unrelated to the GB News divestment, so probably not. There's always the CNN channel on Rakuten which should be available on many Smart TVs and streaming devices.

That seems like a cue for more of OLD BOY's visions of a post 2035 streaming utopia / dystopia (depending on your point of view).

I was not talking about next week but later on when both Warner Media and Discovery old deals are up.

I see that Channel 4 HD is going UK Wide from August 31st on Sky. But still to see any info on them launching on Virgin Media.*

*Channel 4 HD only have a London area HD Channel right now on Virgin Channel 141.

I know but I think there will have been reasons for the CNN removal which, probably, won't be obvious to the general public. The planned streaming service collapsed and that probably increases the chances of it returning eventually.

There are actually several regional versions of 4HD on Virgin and have been since the London area changes. As C4 hasn't previously played out the regional HD advertising macro versions, other than London, Virgin has fed the London version into all of its regional 4HD versions. All they need to do is switch the feeds, which should be no more complicated than switching the feeds for various channels after the incident at Red Bee. If Virgin has access to all of the new regional playout feeds, there is no reason why it shouldn't change at the same time as Sky. Unlike Sky, we won't be seeing "tests" as the regional "services" were set up a long time ago. In theory, the feeds could also be switched to the existing BBC B multiplex on Freeview. It might be easier though for Freeview to delay until the changes to fully regionalise BBC B have been completed. That way the correct regions of BBC 1 HD, ITV HD and 4HD could all arrive at the same time. The obvious change on Virgin would be the move to the 104 EPG slot in all regions.

I quite like NBC News its replacement even though its the internet version of its news channel and not its main news channel i believe?

Why is CNN free on Rakuten but not anywhere else?

Still want Fox News as its hilarious. The clips on the john oliver show are hilarious

It's also on Sky.

As an update to the above post regarding 4HD. An additional service will be required for Wales, I noticed that SID 10254 is for Virgin networks in Channel 4's South (including Wales) advertising macro region. In order to use EPG channel 108 in Wales, an extra Service ID would be needed. It could be useful, for anyone interested in tracking such information, to watch for any changes on digitalbitrate. Look for a renumbered or additional version of Channel 4HD popping up on the Welsh version of transport stream 102. [https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.p...e=209&lang=en]

I assume Rakuten and CNN signed a deal. They're both private companies so don't have to disclose what it was.

I've been following MB since he joined here in 2006 and his posts made me sign up in 2007. Thats 16 years of posts! He's a top guy in my eyes and I enjoy these threads each year as we discuss the never ending possibility of Sky Atlantic, or the stunning arrival of BT Sport at the last minute or all the discussions on HD versions of channels. Its been a bloody good laugh if you ask me as well as interesting!

So thanks Media Boy and if you can't share a source just yet thats fine. Better to keep good sources happy in the long run.

If you haven't got anything good to say either why not just put the smart phone down and let the rest of us enjoy hopefully another 16 years! God knows where we'll be then!
My father used to say if you can't say something kind ,run away you know you can't keep your mouth shut

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

I’m surprised at the recent disrespect of MB. He was the reason I joined Cable Forum in 2013. I also follow him on Twitter for this reason, too.

He works hard for this forum, giving us ultra-reliable information. Thanks for everything, MB. Here’s to many more years.
