Except....'it is not broadcasting in HD....'
I think we can safely ignore this.
The addition of E! HD is good, though, but not a channel I ever watch personally.

It'll probably just be testing. They seem to use any old channel to test streams and load, not necessarily from the broadcaster of the ultimate channel they are going to be launching. And if there is nothing launching imminently it could be network stress/load testing.

For instance, on Tsid35/CO35 one of the Sans Noms is now called Dummy. And it's carrying Sony Max HD, another channel that is broadcast already on VM.
And the other odd thing about that BT Sport HD 1 is that it's on the multiplex with the recently switched off Sky Cinema SD channels. And the bitrate is MUCH MUCH higher than a normal SD channel, even one in MPEG2.
And for another thing the current screengrab seems to be of two policemen with their faces blurred out. Not something you'd see on a sports channel. In fact I can just about make out a Pick logo in the top left amongst the blur.
