I had my new cards today, and to be honest, there is no difference, apart from silly +channels, and what does this NGTV mean, and l for one would be glad if they got rid of that horrible black color on the guide.

Just noticed today in Grimsby, that local news (Look North) is finally on channel 101, as it should be instead of 858. Before today, I got East Midlands Today on 101. Does this mean my Headend has been changed (not sure about the correct terminology)?

Yes - you will also see BBC Radio 4 LW (Channel 911) and BBC Radio London (Channel 937) on your box as well.

May I ask is Channel 858 still broadcasting?

If there is a similar pattern of updates and NGTV roll out then it looks like around 11th April for me then. But I'm just speculating there :)
