False alarm i'm afraid, following the removal of the UKTV channels from Virgin Media, UKTV are in negotiations with Sky to add the remaining channels to NOW TV, so GOLD won't be going FTA any time soon (at present, only GOLD is on Now TV).

Quest HD was due to have launched yesterday, but didn't on any platform. No idea what the delay is, but everything is technically in place for it to joint Freesat on channel 167. The Freesat data, EPG info. subtitles etc are all up and running.
