Thanks.

Any news on launch dates for them?

BBC did report that Big Centre TV was set to launch on Virgin Media by end of March.

Saw advert for Spike channel on channel 5 last night. No mention of which platforms will be carrying it though. Looks like a decent channel to me.

What's curious is that their current satellite tests are encrypted. If they intend to be a pay channel on Sky, then they cannot be on Freesat :confused:

They will become unecrypted nearer to the launch.
