When I went to look I saw that. There was however a branded Eurosport Xtra graphic in amongst it when I browsed about, though it wasn't clear what it meant.

Xtra is what they call the live online streams which are available in addition to Eurosport 1 & 2

Ok. Ta. I think it just doesn't sit right in my head. Maybe I just need industrial quantities of caffeine? :D

The Smithsonian Channel is due to launch on 12 February. That's the only substantial thing we have that's fairly certain for the time being.

What replaces the existing Sky deal later this year will be interesting.

This says that it launched a year ago, has it only been available on VM in Wales until now, or wasn't it on the network at all?

Interesting; PSB radio stations musn't have a 'must carry' clause in the same way that PSB TV channels do on cable.

No they don’t. None of the digital platforms carry Radio Scotland FM.

I was a bit doubtful about The Smithsonian Channel really coming...but @UKDTT tweeted a link to an OFCOM page for the channel license.
