Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Neither, there (supposedly) isn't a clear channel available for the south side of Emley Moor, so no reason to advertise a local tv franchise for the area or to add the rest of South Yorkshire to the Sheffield or Leeds areas. The whole concept of local tv is flawed.

VM only matches the licensed terrestrial area of local tv, as far as that is possible.

No idea but just wish VM would make up their mind to which Local TV channel we will get in Barnsley, will it be Sheffield or Leeds?

Have you seen something to suggest VM are still cogitating?

Base on last info we have - nope (That mean nothing as the numbers goes up or down all the time).

But Nat Geo Wild HD is still testing.

If there aren't testing, I'm guessing that could mean they are close to launching them? :angel:

Well my source told me last month that Nat Geo Wild HD was set to launch in April. A week on Thursday is the last day in April.

Do you know if VM do a lot of testing all the time, or is it only when new channels are about to launch?

Good question, UC. I don't think the testing means anything in particular as far as working out how many channels might launch imminently. Publicising the testing activity is just a tease.

Yes - I have also seen them testing.

As of posting we will no longer give an play by play on how many channels are testing the last two days was just to give everyone an idea on what we are seeing.

We will reveal when we see one or all of them being given real channel names.

---------- Post added at 12:56 ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 ----------

What has been given real names so far?

-Nat Geo Wild HD (Set for April launch - rumoured to be set for April 30th launch).
-Arabic Hafla (No set launch date).
