Media Boy HQ think we may see an Viacom channel (One of the following channels: Comedy Central +1, BET, 5 USA +1, 5STAR +1, MTV MUSIC, MTV Live HD, VH1 or Nickelodeon +1) for Paramount Network to launch on Wednesday.

Unless Virgin Media UK are set to move BBC 4 HD to channel 187 or 188 in early 2019 in Scotland.

What is set to launch on Channels 217, 218 and 219?

Pick from any of the following:

•Lifetime +1
•Sony Crime Channel +1
•Sony Crime Channel 2
•TruTV +1
•True Entertainment +1
•Quest Red +1
•E! HD
•Comedy Central Extra +1
•Pick +1
•Sky Atlantic
•Sky Atlantic HD
•Sky Atlantic +1
•Sky One +1
•S4C HD
•GOLD HD
•5Spike +1
•MTV +1

JJ20X has pick up tests for up to three HD Channels - that time of posted only one channel is testing called "Internal P".

Take a pick from any of the following HD Channels:

•Crime + Investigation HD
•HISTORY HD
•Al Jazeera English HD
•BoxNation HD
•Disney Channel HD
•Disney Junior HD
•Disney XD HD
•FreeSports HD
•LFCTV HD
•MUTV HD
•Sony Entertainment Television HD
•Sony Max HD
•E! HD
•Nick Jr. HD
•Premier Sports HD (Launches this summer)
•Premier Sports 2 HD (Launches this summer)
•Racing UK HD
•S4C HD
•Star Gold HD
•Star Plus HD
•Boomerang HD
•CNN International HD
•GOLD HD
•Colours HD
•&TV HD
•Zee Cinema HD
•Zee TV HD

Media Boy HQ are thinking they will be for Freesports HD, Premier Sports HD and Premier Sports 2 HD.
It's also possible that VH1 will be moving from Music to Entertainment, so a slot would be needed for that. There is also a very (and I mean VERY) small chance that Viacom could launch 5USA, 5Star and 5Spike in HD as part of a commercial agreement with Virgin Media, but it's unlikely.
