Cleaned up.

Remember you can REPORT A POST if you have a problem with it, there's no need to discuss it in a thread.

Well if the other VM worker says Thursday and has saw something at work to back that up then listen to them, the first and last time I checked was at the start of June! So a lot could have changed. Hardly any customers have asked me about HD channels to be honest so I've had no reason to check it other than when they ask. I have no time to sit and read the Boiler room, as it's been absolutely mobbed at work in the past coupla months. I'm saying August because nothing we've been told by managers or anything suggests that it'll be within the next 3 days so I'm kinda doubtful. But if their TM has advised them of Thursday then Thursday it must be.

Well we will just have to wait till Friday, like I say, I haven't checked as I'm not really interested in when they launch until a customer asks, which they haven't recently.

Heaven help this thread if there are technical difficulties and they have to *GASP* delay the launch to make sure they work properly !

Isn't that what testing is for ????

This is why VM didn't say anything.

Its better to remain silent while working out deals, we got a much better one than Sky who rushed in there first just so they could shout about it!

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

Funny have a Samsung 2110C and can't see these channels in the engineer’s menu.

Believe I’m on the NTL Cambridge network.

I could see the SD channel being included but I had little hope that the HD channel would launch as well. Well done to the negotiating team, so the count for new HD channels just went up by another one.
