Looks like Sky Sports Mix is definitely coming.

The following channels now have placeholders off the EPG:

Sky Sports Mix

Sky Sports Mix HD

Spike

5 Star+1

Pop

Movie Mix

Movies 4 Men

Only Movies 4 Men is currently carrying a video stream.

There is also a duplicate MTV Live HD (with no video stream), perhaps this is a test for MTV Classics or a new HD version of an existing SD channel (exclusive?). What other Viacom channels are we missing?

That list was posted on DS Forum on Monday night - we just seen it.

But base on information given to us yesterday 5Star +1 is NOT testing on Virgin Media UK.

Our sources did reconfirm that Movies 4 Men is currently carrying a video stream.

MB Views: Virgin Media UK set to move Film4 and Sky Movies HD Channels?

With Movie Mix and Movies 4 Men set to launch Media Boy HQ feels Virgin Media UK may move Sky Movies HD channels back by ten numbers and starting from Virgin UK Channels 441.

Film4 Channels may also move to make way for the two new confirmed Sony Movies Channels.

MTV Live HD switched transport streams, so there is a "Channel moved" entry for the old location and another entry the new one.

Still just a placeholder on the SDT from the latest information I received. With no active video / audio streams.

Richard is correct, an SDT placeholder has been added for 5Star +1 on TSid 8.

That is the only service currently testing with a video stream, the rest are SDT entries / placeholders on the NIT.

We are starting do think we are getting 5Star +1 and Spike due an new deal with Channel 5.

We think Virgin Media UK deals with Channel 5 - they only broadcasts in the UK.

And Liberty Global will now deal with Viacom - Like they did with Discovery and A+E Networks.

So we not see any more Viacom own channels coming with 5Star +1 and Spike.

WWE Network will come to VM during 2017, now we've been told 2 things regarding this the first info we have is it will be a app only and you will need to subscribe via wwe network website.
The second info we have (this will excite Vince) is VM will provide a live WWE Network stream on their EPG so you won't need to access the app to watch WWE Network live (ppvs etc), there will still be a app but you can either subscribe via WWE Network direct or you can subscribe via VM and just have the £9.99p/m added to your bill.
We will keep a eye on this one and any further developments/info we will let you guys know.
