Edit - was referring to the 6 new hd channels, not Forces TV.
AFAIK, apart from having to prominantly place the five PSB channels, VM can set the EPG up however they like. Unlike Sky, who are required to ensure that slots are allocated on a 'Fair, reasonable and non discriminatory' basis.

Hmm, I'm not sure either, I never thought to ask!

I'd have thought that, as an organisation not driven by profits, that aims to put the ability for families etc to keep in touch/keep up to date with military operations first and the fact that it will be FTA on satellite makes me think it will be in M.

There again, apart from any FTA cable channels, aren't all the channels in M aligned with Freeview? So maybe M+ then.
