Re: Four new channels & unknown channel developments.

There looks to be two new adult channels now on the EPG. One is "My ex Girlfriends" (that I saw testing last night) and the other something to do with swingers.

I think the other two are Sky film channels. Didn't Sky open a new classic channel shortly after the deal? It looks like that's on VM now and Sky Indie may be new too.

Anybody? (I don't subscribe to films).

* At about 2.15am I went to channel 0 and the EPG listings were for a childrens channel. Nothing matched any childrens channels on the VM EPG.

* Listings included 2.00am kat v kid, 2.20am Pokeman, 2.45 Pokeman and 3.10am Galaktic Football. The listings lasted well into tomorrow evening. Anybody know what channel these are on?

* When tuned to channel 0, there is no channel number showing at the front of the box.

* If one tries to set a reminder you get the standard PPV message about no reminder needing to be set as this is automatically done when the event was bought.

* If one tries to set record on one of these programmes, it goes red for a few seconds, before returning to normal.

* The white lines in the top left hand corner only appear when the mini guide is showing, otherwise it's just a black screen.

* I checked again at about 3.25 and the normal PPV slate was being broadcast.

I'm beginning to wonder if these tests are only done from, say, 2 to 3am??

Also, it will be interesting to see if a new childrens channel appears later today, as was the case with the adult channel.
Two ''new'' adult channels has been on Virgin Media have been on for some week/months on the EPG.

"My ex Girlfriends" was launch on the 4th of March.
and ''swingers'' was launch on the 1st of October 2010.

The movie channel you saw is maybe MGM HD?

Makes me wonder, if a deal has been struck for XD, maybe cinemagic in HD might follow?
Wikipedia says that the Disney XD HD is just Simulcast of Disney XD.
