At a guess the channels testing are probably;

1. Sky Sports News HD
2. Sky News HD
3. Atlantic (they haven't removed the BT Sport name, probably to disquise what it is)
4. Atlantic HD
5. Disney HD

I got rumours from two viewers telling me the same thing.

FOX+ (Channel 199) and Disney HD (Maybe Channel 726) may launch tomorrow on Virgin Media.

Why aren't Virgin launching on Channel 159? We would then have

157 FoX
158 FoX HD
159 FoX +

it truly baffles me sometimes how channel numbering is decided. just feels like they put in a hat and pull out at random!

Virgin Media have set aside Channel 159 for Local TV Channels - owners of London Live confirmed this months ago.
