Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Virgin Media test out new Channel.

As of 02.30 an new SD Channel has appeared on my V+ box on Virgin Channel 890. The new channel is called ''Test 43'' and also is broadcasting On Demand Previews plus EPG info is showing the same info as Virgin Channel 100.

Virgin test channels out some times to see if it will work fine ahead of launching an new channel.

I have not seen any launch dates for any new channels - I will post here when/if I get more info.

do you know what channels there testing mate ?

If Virgin are going to launch an new channel the last time I seen an test channel it was broadcasting for an week before Baby TV launch on old Telewest areas.

I think it maybe any of the following

Sky Movies Classic HD
PBS
Sony TV
OR even ESPN America HD

It doesn't have to be a channel. They could be testing anything at all including a red button stream or something like that.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 04:04.
