Oh I didn't know that I thought they could just to a scan of the line and pick up what was being broadcasted. Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

I think Living 3 will replace Living + 2. Getting very confusing!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

wonder if virgin are in talks with ESPN, they have 2 or 3 HD sports channels in america, surely they could make the ESPN America that we have in HD. i'm not a fan of the stuff they air, usually ice hockey and stuff i think but better than nothing i guess.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Are these test channels for new HD channels or new SD channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

SD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

So does this means we will have 6 new channels shortly then. If so which channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

no-one knows.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

it could be for either sd or hd, test channeols ar enothing more than that virign testing bandwidth it does not mean there channel goign ot launch soon just tests getting done like virgin tested 200mb in there labs.

however if a channel that aint on the network appears in testing then it mostly likely launch within 4-6 weeks

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Yes, it will replace Living +2.

(That was my website that was quoted by the way).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

.....VM have not said what they will use the old Trouble slots for. If they wanted to launch a living 3, they could've easily done that when Trouble was axed.

Not necessarily, baring in mind there was already about 30 free slots available for new channels before these new tests.

As VM turn off an analogue tv channel it frees up space for at least 6 digital SD channels and more capacity will become available soon as more analogue tv channels get axed.

Whether VM use the capacity for new SD channels, HD channels (unlikely in my opinion as they don't have access to Sky's sports and films HD channels) or broadband, is known only to them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Launching a new channel isn't a quick process. There will be a new Living channel (name yet to be announced). Meanwhile Living+2 is holding the slot.
