The remaining services have been given new names.

 

 

NIT Linkage:

There were multiple changes to the configurations, not listed here as NIT Linkage / OTA firmware updates etc are beyond the scope of this blog. Also, as there are hundreds of changes, explaining the changes would be onerous.

A quick summary, SIDs 10069 DL1_CiscoTiVoCompass & 10071 DL3_SamsungTiVoYundo are the only services with active configurations. Presumably, SIDs 10070 & 10072 are config. free to allow for the possibility of future updates.

It wouldn't be Virgin TV if the changes didn't come with what appears to be an error. Bristol 1 network has a NIT Linkage configuration on SID 10073. As can be seen above, SID 10073 has been removed from the SDT.

Tivo Hardware Support Streams:

The PMTs & data streams were removed from SIDs 10009 to 10012, 10065 to 10068 and 10073 to 10076 during Wednesday. NIT and SDT data was left in place.
