It was deleted as the discussion was not deemed to be of an acceptable standard.

2) If I remember correctly,Technix said he had heard a deal between the two companies was looking more likely. If so, channel 551 would be the channel number.

Yup, that's broadly what was posted

Which channels can be used with MRS?

Update Re: Premier Sports.

I've just made some enquiries and, as it currently stands, it appears that Premier Sports won't be going into the XL TV package.

In an effort to appease MP's, a compromise has been offered where the channel will still be standalone, but the owners of the channel have been offered more favourable terms than the previous owners of VM were prepared to offer.

Nobody has heard ANYTHING about Baby TV going into XL. Personally, I would now put this down as a rumour without foundation.
