Cheers MB. I wonder what "technical issues"prevented them from launching on VM on time.

I ask because, in my experience, this catch all term is often used by industry (not just TV channels) as a cover up for incompetence or to mask more serious problems.

I remember when Pricedrop/Bid TV broadcast that they just had a few "technical problems", before going off air for good!

Another example is of a former competitor of ours that didn't open one weekend as they couldn't afford to buy any stock to sell, but, of course, the notice on the door referred to the reason as "technical issues"
