Archive talk:List of channels on Virgin Media (UK) - Old Packages

Notes on BBC One and BBC Two for their SD versions.

The notes now read wrong on both of these for their 101 and 102 positions. There is only 15 regions of BBC One (SD) in England the others no longer appear at 101. There is only BBC Two Scotland (in SD) at 102 the other 3 versions are no longer at 102. The notes already tell you where to find the others so just amend to say others are elsewhere.Lotrjjw (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Automated processing of channel list

Just as an FYI in case plans emerge to change the channel listings format. The list of Virgin Media channels - in particular the table - is being occasionally parsed by a plug-in to Home-Assistant so that it can provide an accurate list of channels to users and also facilitate automated switching from SD to HD versions of channels. So, for example, if a new column were to be added then adding it on the right hand end would be transparent to the 3rd-party code. The code is at https://github.com/bertbert72/HomeAssistant_VirginTivo (virgintivo.py in particular). Of course, changes to the format or URL are entirely up to the editors / controllers on TVChannelLists. --Paul Webster (talk) 14:45, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
