Why on earth is Virgin Media Four launching on channel 160? Why not channel 117, as that slot isn't even used in ROI!!!! Or better yet, move Virgin Media Three to 115 and have Virgin Media Four on 116. This is absolutely absurd.

Maybe the broadcaster for that channel does not own the 117 channel slot in the EPG

@Chloe-W22I note the Sky Glass channel listing linked here has been updated to add a couple of new international channels.  But there are a number of other updates/corrections needed.  I've listed them here.  While I might not have picked up everything, I think it will be a lot more accurate if these changes are made. 

 

I should add that these changes are to the UK list. The Irish list is also in need of update but the changes are different. 

 

 Under Sky Ultimate TV

  • Under BBC - add regions 951 to 969
  • Under RTÉ (Northern Ireland only) heading, RTÉ Junior - 964 should read 213
  • Under News, add TalkTV - 508
  • Under News Sky Arabia - 716 - isn't this now 750?
  • Under Other, delete Smithsonian - 167
  • Under Sky Entertainment, Sky Challenge - 159 should read Challenge - 159
  • Under Kids, CiTV - 211 should read CiTV - 212
  • Under Kids, RTÉ Junior - 212 (Northern Ireland only) - should read 213
  • Under international isn’t Sky Arabia now 750?
  • 4 new QVC channels will need to be added on Thursday

Under BT Sports tab add:

  • 3006 BT Sport 5
  • 3007 BT Sport 6
  • 3008 BT Sport 7
  • 3009 BT Sport 8
  • 3010 BT Sport 9
  • 3011 BT Sport 10

 Under Sky Sports add:

  • 3046 SkySpF1 UHD
  • 3050 Sky Sports UHD [HDR]
  • 3051 Sky Sports UHD

 Also 3047  Eurosport 4K/Ultra UHD1 and 3048 Ultra HD need to be added somewhere
