I too was wondering this. These days VM normally put up a slate 7 days prior to a channel launch, so I was expecting a slate to go up in the early hours of Friday morning

Maybe they have delayed it.

Is Sony TV a Sony shopping channel?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

I like Hustle but otherwise a little underwhelmed by Sony. That said, TiVo will pick out the best bits for me, and I've now been on cable for just over a year. When I joined and subscribed to TV XL I think I was told I'd have over 165 channels. In a year they've added at least ten. For nothing.

Any idea if we'll also get access to Sony's on demand stuff? This is currently available on Bt Vision.

No it's primarily aimed at young adult women with Holby City and the like. The odd good thing on there as well.

Shows some Sony films as well. Cut through the dross and it's a pretty reasonable addition.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

from wiki The channel is aimed at women aged between 25 and 54 and broadcasts a range of dramas and comedies, including Hawthorne, Huff and 'Til Death.[4] Sony Entertainment Television also brings UK series Hustle and Hotel Babylon, along with the last ever season of Las Vegas and reruns of Crossing Jordan, Dawson's Creek, My Boys, Ned & Stacey and NewsRadio.[5] It also shows movies from SPT's sister company Sony Pictures Entertainment, such as The Da Vinci Code, All the King's Men, Marie Antoinette and Philadelphia. From September Holby City will begin airing on Sony Entertainment Television.

Yes there is some reasonable stuff on there and it just gives us more choice to pick what we want to watch when we want to watch it.
