TBH you see more History programs on Yesterday! Never really watched that channel before but now i only have Freeview i'm discovering new stuff :)
Aye I noticed that too! Yesterday used to be called UK TV history if I remember and it was excellent back in the day but then went and got the rights to ridiculous tv shows like murder she wrote and put them on it so I switched to the history channel. Which is now broadcasting pawn shop marathons and motorbike shows. And now yesteryear seems to have took up some of the flack.

It's not asking for a history channel which broadcasts history. There is enough documentaries out there to show!

I keep tweeting them asking why they keep calling themselves a history channel and never get any response...

I just reread that info I was given by Virgin Sources I am now thinking maybe it the missing HD Channels that UPC Ireland broadcast.

-History HD
-Nat Geo Wild HD
-CI HD
-Disney Channel HD

Hope to get more info by end of March 2015.

We think it maybe some Viacom Channels or the UPC Ireland HD Channels.
About time History HD arrived if correct took them long enough

Media Boy HQ has today seen an update on the channels that Virgin Media are testing - we cant reveal what we have seen yet.

But "Watch this space".

We also have new idea what testing but am keeping it close to our heart for now.

OK, but can you say whether they are very good, good, mundane or utter drivel?

Then we will know whether to get excited!

Whilst I don't buy into Old Boys theory that linear will die clearly people aren't as bothered about channel launches these days.

A few years back this would have gone on for pages , we've already too many channels as it is.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that VM has all the major channels of interest with the odd exception most of what's added to both platforms these days is junk.

Are you talking about Sky or Virgin Media?

Only the missing HD Channels, Viacom Channels and Sony channels are missing all the rest can stay "Only on Sky".

I'm on about both , these broadcasters have far too many channels with content spread so thinly across them.

There is only one channel I want now and that is Universal HD. Not bothered about the rest tbh.

This is developing story, and may change tomorrow or next day. Waiting on Virgin Sources go ahead to post info. But we can reveal we seen no real names testing today only saw V0-- like yesterday.

Which will continue for as long as it's financially viable to do so.

Interesting that VM aren't using the real channel names and are instead using codes whilst testing- this is how it's normally done on satellite.
