What is the matter with Virgin TV?

"We're reorganising your channel line-up to make way for new exciting services."

So now E4 and E4+1, which used to be channels 143 and 144 (although a couple of years ago they were 144 and 145) have now moved to 144 and 146 respectively. I mean, what are they going to put on channel 145? E4+½? And ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 have moved from 114, 116 and 117 to 115, 117 and 118. They're still leaving room for the inevitable ITV2.5.

  2. To make room for the high definition channels? Freeview equipment using the Sheffield transmitter had some of their channels moved for this reason.

  4. Hopefully good television programming will last a bit longer in the UK since we haven't had really any good cartoons in the US for a least 5 years now and most if not all of the cartoons from the 90's have been taken off the air here. It is good to know that somewhere in the world some of my favorite cartoons are still rerunning lol ;).
