Thanks as always MB for info.
Also still selling the bloody slow TiVo, when they know v6 is coming

Any "testing" will be restricted to those "networks", which do not appear to be customer facing networks. I haven't seen the NIT data for the ex-NTL Langley areas, so can't comment about those.

On the ex-Telewest / ex-C&W regions, testing usually takes place on up to 4 "networks", being selected from those listed above and:

TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE)

Other observations:

The 1/4 screen 4KTV tests are listed in the NIT for: Manchester Trials.

RTE One, RTE Two and TG4 are in the NIT for:

NGRHEE Bromley
TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE)
Manchester TRIALS

I found that unusual as I would have only expected to see those on the Northern Ireland regions, which are on the ex-NTL Langley part of the network. The post NGTV organisation of Virgin Media is quite interesting.

Frequency changes have been noted in various regions, with TV transport streams moving to create a wider band of frequencies, presumably in preparation for DOCSIS 3.1.
I see there is 4ktv tests but they have no content

Exactly why you message new service info, billing and others
