I see Al-Jazeera is available on Freeview from today, Is it going to be available to Virgin Media ?

Yes and Sky have brought forward their price increases for Sky Sports due to the announcement by BT re:prices. BT are now going to make a significant loss for each sub on their pricing of SS. It seems that Virgin have signed their own deal previously.

If you mean the item on page 7 of the mag its due to the 6 things for you this month and that is number 2 ( not that there are 2 film 4 hd channels launching )

That is through a Freesat receiver by Technisat not a Virginmedia box.

You sure? It says DVB-C not DVB-S and it also seems to be listing quite a few channels not on Freesat

Top of the pic above the weather forecast says its a Technisat Mantis DVBC BDA Receiver, plus I have never seen anything like that screenshot on any of our boxes and the are no channel numbers just frequencies in the listings.

I have heard that 5 HD is being trialled so I believe everything else to be correct.

DVBC is a cable standard though and not satellite... Technisat could be a dodgy box :D

It's not a screenshot from any STB, The only actual TV bit in the screenshot is the Five weather map. The rest is the PC program for the receiver card.

Like this one http://www.technisat.com/index7b97.h...ucts,en,76-211
