I think this channel will soon die on Sky. (Sorry has to say it)

DS Forum says it has been broadcasting the same things since it launch. And has also been rebrand as The Unexplained Channel.

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: An executive of ViewAsia talks to Media Boy.

With regards to the View Asia package I have the following information I got from the executive of the View Asia package - In an Email.

Quote:

Sony are in talks with Virgin about carrying more Asian TV channels on their platform to build the View Asia package but it depends on space available on Virgin.

I gather from the grapevine of gossip, that its around the last week of August.

112 Living 2

*Living HD is testing on off the EPG on Virgin Channel 110 in Ex-ntl areas.

Probably Living HD will be on 111 and don't expect Living 2 et all to be around for much longer. They're to get the same treatment as the UKTV channels.

I reckon the EPG numbering will look something like this within the next 6 months:

109: Living
110: Living +1
111: Living HD
112: Another VMTV channel
113: Another VMTV channel +1
114: ITV 2
115: ITV 2 +1
116: ITV 3
117: ITV 3 +1
118: ITV 4
119: ITV 4 +1
120: ITV HD
121: Sky 1 etc

Virgin Central to be scrapped.

Or something like that!

I assume you'd place those in 112 and 113, where they've said 'Another VMTV channel'.

Analogue needs to be axed before there can be lots more channels, assuming VM wish to launch more.

So I'd say, April/May next year is the first opportunity for a mass launch of new stuff.
