I doubt it, why would they release launch dates to this forum if that was the case? Sam B has already mentioned in an earlier post that they had hoped to launch on the 8th but couldn't due to 'problems'.
Tests have been on-going since at least August 23rd when someone on another forum noticed hidden channels, which co-incidentally is around the time the 'channel 7' switching fault appeared on the Bromley platform.
I believe this is the 'technical problem' causing all the delay and I also believe that the new channels could have launched on Langley with no problem as they have been broadcasting in a hidden state since the start with no side effects and the visible overnight tests back this up. I guess they didn't want to alienate the Bromley customers more than they already have.
Ntl haven't officially announced a launch date to us but they have to the channels involved, twice! They have also been trying to fix this problem for over a month and still can't give any indication on when it will be resolved. Not very impressive for a 'leading' digital televison provider is it!

I expect so as it can use the space recently vacated by the Express Shopping Channel. Too many people know about it's launch with it being advertised on Channel four, it's non-appearance would generate a lot of unwanted calls to customer services wondering where it was.
