Thanks - they stay the same then. The BBC Four move is a welcome one - Irish viewers currently have BBC Two NI On 143 right next to BBC Two HD.

Interesting to note that currently 188 and 190 are unassigned in GB.
196 is H2 in NI because 163 is TG4 in NI, but H2 elsewhere. ITV HD 176

Are they going to make everyone wait til May 1st to find out the full list or is there a date that they are going to reveal it all?

They’re giving two weeks’ notice through a pop-up channel on EPG 100 from Tuesday.

That didn't happen . . . Shocked I guess there is still some horse-trading going on.

I was expecting Tuesday for the pop-up channel to launch - looks like later this week, I guess.

At this rate, you'll be able to piece together the full list yourself...
ABN has confirmed it will move to channel 195. Psychic Today to 560. All as per master list.

Full list of Sky's EPG for the UK and Ireland come 1st May.

It's a heck of a lot tidier than what we have now barring the overspill entertainment section from the 450s. With the lines being blurred between entertainment and documentary channels with regards to content moving the latter section up is a good move.

A few changes too - Viceland rebrands to Vice and loses its HD channel, and TLC+2 is finally being shut down.
dbl, Stuart and Spencer gave kudos

Something for the conspiracy theorists: ITV and STV get a mention... UTV doesn’t.

Looks nice.

Next question has to be how long before it fills up and things spill into an unsightly mess again? I presume its technically possible to have four channel numbers for the TV channels like it is for the radio, though that's probably a way off yet before its needed.

Sky Sports Mix is staying in Entertainment then.
I'd also hoped they'd group the BT Sport channels together but none of them are moving. Premier Sports and FreeSports get a boost up the EPG though.

The demotion of BBC Two HD in Ireland from 142 to 347 is bizzare. It’s in with the HD channels that can’t be HD swapped in Ireland because there is only Irish advertising on the SD versions. Is it because the SD version is BBC Two NI?

Yes it'll be because the SD version is NI while the HD version is England.

I wonder if Quest Red on 149 in Ireland is a mistake. It not currently available in the ROI.
