It had been mentioned before but as TiVo has never had any red button stuff it needs to be coded from scratch.

My insider has told me that Virgin Media hope to launch Sky Sports Red Button on Virgin TV between the 18th-24th of April.

Plus:

Virgin Media launches ESPN on TV Choice on Demand.

Virgin Media has today launch ESPN on their TV Choice on Demand network via ''All Channels''.

I no longer have ESPN on demand. The programme from yesterday has been moved into the ESPN Classic folder.

The only info from the web (That I have seen) says ITV1 HD. I not know if STV will show it LIVE but viewers in Scotland and Ireland can watch it on Channel 853 (Not in HD).

Unknown channel on air...testing??
 
To get to the beginning of the EPG quickly and easily I always press channel 0.

This is usually an advert for a PPV event or the PPV slate.

Tonight it is an unknown channel showing "My Ex Girlfriends" on each and every hour. The screen is black with four white dashes at the top left hand side.

I wondered, going by the title, if it was an adult channel. After checking with all the other subscription and pay per night adult services, nothing matched what was being shown. Is this a new channel testing? :confused:

You have to pay 20 quid a month to suscribe to it l am afraid, l am not paying that, we used to get it for nothing when Setanta was going.

I have read posts on DS that would suggest it is being broadcast on the whole ITV Network, and that STV wll employ their own commentary team.

Should be good.

Four new channels & unknown channel developments.

Further developments tonight:

* The total number of channels has changed on the EPG and we now have four extra.

There looks to be two new adult channels now on the EPG. One is "My ex Girlfriends" (that I saw testing last night) and the other something to do with swingers.

I think the other two are Sky film channels. Didn't Sky open a new classic channel shortly after the deal? It looks like that's on VM now and Sky Indie may be new too.

Anybody? (I don't subscribe to films).

* At about 2.15am I went to channel 0 and the EPG listings were for a childrens channel. Nothing matched any childrens channels on the VM EPG.

* Listings included 2.00am kat v kid, 2.20am Pokeman, 2.45 Pokeman and 3.10am Galaktic Football. The listings lasted well into tomorrow evening. Anybody know what channel these are on?

* When tuned to channel 0, there is no channel number showing at the front of the box.

* If one tries to set a reminder you get the standard PPV message about no reminder needing to be set as this is automatically done when the event was bought.

* If one tries to set record on one of these programmes, it goes red for a few seconds, before returning to normal.

* The white lines in the top left hand corner only appear when the mini guide is showing, otherwise it's just a black screen.

* I checked again at about 3.25 and the normal PPV slate was being broadcast.

I'm beginning to wonder if these tests are only done from, say, 2 to 3am??

Also, it will be interesting to see if a new childrens channel appears later today, as was the case with the adult channel.
