I have just checked the launch of VH 2, 2 songs in and im hooked already

radiospan

What kind of videos are VH2 playing?

Do they have any programmes lined up, or is it videos 24/7?

Mossy Monk

it is a really good channel

started with The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army, then Nirvana - Come As You Are and so on with Travis etc.

it doesnt look as messy as VH1 does. nice DOG

a reshuffle of the EPG is long overdue Sky's one while better than NTL's is still riddled with absurdities

Improvments that could be made would include
101-105 UK terrestrial channels -a proper postcode database for assigning regions is not as big deal as $ky make it out to be and it would free up around 25 EPG slots currently occupied by various BBC regions (out of region programming still available via "other channels") unregistered P2 cards could use London region by default
106-111 and 115-118 reserved for future (UK terrestrial/Regionalised RSL) use
111 E4 112 ITV2 113 BBC3 114 BBC4
119 S4C 120 Tele G
121-124 Irish terrestrials in NI (in RoI the 101-110 and 121-130 ranges could be swapped if necessary for legal/political considerations)
125-130 reserved for future (irish terrestrial) use
131 $ky one etc ($ky could use 106-107 as a temporary alternative)
News Channels BBC News 24 would be 501 BBC Parliament and S4C2 would would occupy adjacent slots at the end of the "News" range
Life TV and Muslim TV would be in the same range used by other religious channels
FTA/FTV channels would be as far as possible be grouped contigiously within genre ranges

858 BBC 4 LW
859 Five live Sports Extra
860 World Service (English)

Some of these channels no longer exist and there have been many added since, but it gives the general gist.

Main points to note:

1) All Irish and UK terrestrial channels are on the first page of EPG along with Sky1.

2) Sky Ones number is one of the best on the EPG, i.e. 111

3) All channel bundles are listed together.
