In fairness, they are a business so that's their objective.

It was just a marketing stunt from Sky to try and counteract the free BT Sport offer with BT broadband.

Just found out that a new Hindi channel from Zee TV is to launch on VM from 6 April 2015 at 7pm- it will be called &TV.

It is expected that Zee will ask for Lamhe to be removed to accommodate this new channel.

And by all acccounts a successful one. This channel commercially was all about Sky broadband and not about European football.

Yup.

I believe that &TV will be on EPG number 811 and that National Geographic Wild HD will be on EPG number 229.

At a wild guess (no pun intended :D) i'd say that the 4 channels that are testing are Spike TV, 5* +1, &TV and the confirmed National Geographic Wild HD.

That's an interesting snippet. Reading between the lines I wonder if Virgin Media (Liberty Global) will be getting ITV Encore in the near future.
