Channel Closures - EPG Flags Updated:

Channel 759 - ID 2367  High Street TV Shop   
- End of Service and Placeholder flags have been removed.
In an unusual move, Virgin TV has removed the placeholder and end of service flags. This means that any recordings will no longer be viewable when the services are hidden from the EPG. Probably to be expected for High Street TV Shop, not so much for the rest.
 
 
Temporary Rebrands:
- 1 movie channel with a promotional rebrand.
- 1 movie channel reverting to its usual name following a promotional rebrand.
