At least VM are being honest and managing your expectations regarding the rollout... would be worse if they waited until the day they were to launch and then said "oh by the way, you won't get these channels until May etc..."
My area hasn't gone NGTV yet and I may miss out on the launch..not happy, but as I said earlier, you can't expect them to upgrade a soon to close headend, it would be such a waste of money.
Media Boy has already created a NGTV thread.. I'm sure he will be updating that thread as and when he gets more info on rollout.
Some of us will have to endure a little time without the new channels, but it will all be worth it in the end... this is going to be a good year for VM and it's customers!
