Service Removals - Remnants:

TSID 21 SIDs 2112 & 2113
- PMT remnants were removed for duplicates of the Virgin Ultra HD channel.

The services had been moved to SIDs 2102 & 2103 on November 15th.

Transport streams and service IDs are for traditional cable networks.

Housekeeping - Change of SID (traditional cable networks):  

ID-Ref		Service Name	Annotation	Old TSID	Old SID	New TSID	New SID
1976		Virgin TV Ultra HD	Internal Networks Only	21	2113	21	2103
2033		Virgin TV Ultra HD	Not on Original Tivo	21	2112	21	2102

The services moved to lower SID numbers released by the removal of the SD services which previously shared the transport stream. 

Oddly, PMT remnants from the original SIDs are still in place although without SDT labels.

4K versions of subscription pack codes prevent these channels from being viewed on legacy TiVo boxes which cannot display 4K content.

Channel 1 is not in the range accessible by customer equipment. Although not really an issue as this service is only included in the NIT of internal networks.
