Given the variation in bitrate on this frequency I’d hazard a guess this is the hidden Gold HD testing in the background, on a frequency we’ve known for some time could support a sixth HD channel (indeed, others have seven).

I’m curious what “reconfiguration” could have caused this delay, on a frequency we have always known could have carried a sixth channel.

I’m happy to take this as evidence supporting that it was entirely contractual, and that there’s plenty of bandwidth out there for new channels as and when Virgin see fit.

Liberty Global are also committed to upgrading its European networks to 1Ghz, with the Superhub 3 supporting downstream in the 860Mhz to 1Ghz range.
