virgin media channel number change

Uknightbreed · Jul 16, 2014

xbox oneguide has been working fine with virgin media since its launch.

ive now noticed virgin has changed its channel numbers. so sky 1 for eg was 122 and its now 109.

so if i ask xbox to watch sky 1 it nows shows sky living (the new 122) instead.

is there something i can do to change oneguide so it has the new listings numbers or is this something that will have to be fixed in an update ?

Yeah that would certainly cause issues.

Go here:-

And search for:-

How do I change the Virgin Media Super Hub's wireless channel/frequency?

or

Depending on which hub you have.

Anyone connected up to their SKY HD box yets?

Nope, not possible yet with Sky or Virgin Media, you have to use your remote to change channels, theres an update coming in 2014 though.

Same problem here i have reset all the one guide and device control options and it has had no effect. Contacted Xbox support and they said they could not help and to contact virgin, what the hell virgin can do about it, i don't know!

Hi, I posted about this issue on the preview forum, they're aware and have passed it on to the right team.

Hopefully it should be sorted soon.

Good excuse for games instead

95% of Sky and Virgin media channels are dire, i mostly just watch the sports channels.

Hi, It may be that you've already sorted this, but in case you haven't... I encountered exactly the same problem and think I have fond the answer after many frustrating hours! I'm guessing you don't have a Kinect sensor, which is what would control the
devices? What you will need is an IR blaster -with a 3.5mm jack one end and sensors the other. It plugs into the back of the Xbox and you position each sensor next to the IR sensor on your TiVo box (and TV if you want Xbox to control that too). This is where
the power command will work in controlling the IR for each device and enabling you to change channels on the Xbox to guide, rather than using the TiVo remote. They have them on Amazon for £11.95 at the moment, so not too expensive!

Hope this helps, Rob.
