Local TV on Virgin Media?

What are Virgin Media plans for Local TV when they start broadcasting later this year:

-Do Virgin Media hope to offer them on an EPG Channel number?
-Or on TiVo boxes only with an App to go and watch them?

Pretty sure the people handling the local TV licenses already stated that Virgin planed to put the channels on 650+ after the news.

I have no seen an update from Virgin Media on this in months.

Only Made in Leeds has been confirmed by broadcaster as coming in November 2013.

Can anyone PM with info on what is 'MRS'?

I think that what you call 'Her indoors' or an old School Teacher.

All companies have 'bread and butter' processes that can occasionally go wrong, causing unavoidable delays. Why do you expect VM to be the only company that is perfect in this respect and never have delays?

Virgin Media has broadcast Nat Geo HD since 2009/2010.

But Virgin Media do not broadcast 'Nat Geo Wild HD' yet.
