We found on Tuesday but forgot to report at the time that Virgin Media UK did start testing TJC HD on Feb. 7th before launching on the network FIVE days later.

They aren't giving anything away by the name they are using. Maybe it's the Turkish channel called Hazan Live TV. Or possibly a barker channel for the new Horizon interface?

Due to stream it using it may only launch for the few months.

No news as to whether SyFy is closing though, or just being moved.

Also no news about VM distribution.

Look like SYFY UK is getting axe in the UK to me.

I am really starting to think that E! is safe but Challenge will be axe to make way for Sky Nature to launch on Virgin and Sky.

Challenge slot on Freeview will be use for Pick +1 (It broadcasting on Freeview HD right now anyway).
