I might be a bit paranoid lol but i think it has to do with tvl etc i wouldn't be surprised if they pass the ip address of people using the live iplayer to Capita.
As i said i'm probably just being paranoid a bit but i wouldn't put it past them lol.

On the plus side i should have some info regarding Disney hd channels next week.

I've always wondered why BBC channels aren't on Skygo or TVanywhere considering technically we pay for them via the tv license and BBC are on about making BBCthree online only.
They are on Zattoo though.

The BBC would probably argue that, as they have made this service available on the iplayer, there is no need for them to waste resources on making commercial ventures more appealing.

Could you try and find out if Smallworld customers will regain access to the Disney channels? (they were all removed some time ago as Disney deemed Smallworld as too small an outfit to be worth bothering with).

I will try mate but none of my sources really deal with Smallworld, although hopefully that'll change now VM have taken it over.

Smallworld only has 6,000 TV customers so when technology permits, I'm sure its customers will be offered the standard VM offerings.
At the moment, VM does not seem to have an appetite to provide more channels to the Smallworld customers (eg BT Sport) so I'm sure any changes will happen when customers adopt VM packages. As stated in another thread, there is still quite a bit of engineering work to be done to facilitate this.

Now we're on the subject of the Summer EPG shakeup, does anyone know the extent as to how many channels will be relocated? Will be like a major reshuffle like the 2006 reshuffle when we were still NTL:Telewest or is it just going to be a few channels or a couple of genres switching places (if you all know what I mean)?

Got a feeling it is mainly the sports channels that are being shuffled, to add room for the Sky Sports HD channels arriving, however could be more.

Just had an engineer in to replace a V+ box (3rd on in less than 12 months - trouble is that they are all now refurbished) while we where talking I said that I had heard that we where getting the missing sky sports HD channels, he said that we should expect to see HD channels as part of a normal pack.
Any thoughts?

He's talking out of his arse to put it politely, the Skysports HD channels will be part of the HD premium pack which is £7p/m. That isn't going up.
SkysportsnewsHD may be part of the XL pack.
