I'm beginning to hear rumours from media websites that the entire Sky EPG will get a "major reshuffle". I'm not sure if this is true, as it is yet to be confirmed by Sky but has anyone else heard this? Apparently, it is set to happen on March 14th and loads of channels are set to change EPG numbers. It's on Media24/7 Sky Digital Online's rumour page.

Anyone help me on this... Confused:

Yes, it seems a big EPG number reshuffle might be going ahead on March 14th!
I think ALL the music channels are moving up the EPG to start at 451 rather than 440 . This would give more room for the sports section. The music section could look like this from March 14th:

451 MTV
452 MTV Hits
453 MTV 2
454 MTV Base
455 MTV Dance
456 VH1
457 VH2
458 VH1 Classic
459 TMF
460 The Box
461 KISS
462 Smash Hits
463 Magic
464 Q
465 Kerrang
466 Chart Show TV
467 The Vault
468 B4
469 The Hits
470 Classic FM TV
471 Channel U
472 Fizz
473 The Amp
474 Scuzz
475 Flaunt
476 Musicians Channel
498 Music Choice (number confirmed)
499 Music Choice Extra (number confirmed)


However, i think it would be better if these channels were located out of the way of the mainstream music channels in a separate mini section:

490 Classic FM TV
491 Musicians Channel

Then, once the music section has moved, the very crowded sports section could be reshuffled.
I also think that to solve the shopping section being full, they should move THE WHOLE kids section to start at 351 . Then, QVC could start at 601 and create lots more room for that section.

The end of the documentaries section also needs a reshuffle.

The radio and adult channels section is also full........

Im not sure how big this reshuffle is, but the music section is definetly involved.
