Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

If I was Northern & Shell, I would say that Milkshake would air daily as a individual channel from 6am-6pm and timeshare with 5* (6pm-6am) on all platforms. I would also launch a Milkshake +1 and a 5* +1 on Sky, Virgin and Freesat. I would use any space left over to launch 5Later as a 24-hour channel on its own.

5* +1 already exists on VM, it's on channel 152.

Sat viewers would hate you. They already cram too much onto 1 transponder as it is, DS forums will be up in arms if they launch even 1 more channel, let alone 2!

Yes, that's what I was thinking, either that or the "later" refers to watching timeshifted Channel 5 programmes, in the same way as 4Seven.

Btw, a placeholder for 5 Later has now appeared on Freeview.

I believe that 'Later' refers to timeshift, not the time in the day.

For those interested, 5later discussions continue

Thanks for info.

I have been told the same by someone else.

I have also been told that some of the missing HD Channels that broadcast on Virgin Media's Big Bother network UPC Ireland may also launch before 2014.

Fingers crossed, looking at this page to see what we have that we're missing: http://www.upc.ie/television/hd/ From the UK based channels I can spot:

History HD
Nat Geo Wild HD
Sky News HD
Sky Sports News HD
CI HD
MGM HD

I'd be pretty happy with those

I'm keeping both TiVos now :)
