Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

That was CW areas but here is some news on Channels testing in Ex-ntl areas:

VMTest 1 is now also testing the full epg for Ch4

VMTest 2 is now also testing the full epg of National Geographic

VMTest5 & 6 is testing History HD with no Epg.

I live in a ex-ntl area but when i look through the ep guide i see nothing.

Probably testing off from the public, only staff testing I guess.

Didn't BT sign with Universal first so could this be a sign of things to come.

Apologies in advance if this has already been posted, if it has I can't find it:) but I've just noticed this on VM's TV page, confirmation of the upcoming HD channels by the end of July, with Living HD to follow soon after.

Yes

You need either a samsung 2110 or 3110 box, or you need dvb-c card (no i will not say how if you wanted to do that you are breaking the tc and you ar eon your own how to do it)

The box you need th engineer menu to verify they are testing, viewing the channesl is a little more tricky i wont explain that, try the epg number if oyu seen it in the engineer menu if it works your in luck if not then it complex way to view it a believe

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

The fact they are testing Channel 4 HD would this mean there is a chance this will come at the end of this month as well.
