Rumours say October.
We have seen an launch date of Autumn 2016.
So Wikipedia says that sometime before December.

As of last week it was testing with EPG but with no broadcasting video.
We think Fox News will be on Virgin UK Channel 626 when launched.
We can confirmed it will say Fox News Channel on the banner.

Assumptions can be rather dangerous especially when they are wrong....

Didn't someone at Liberty/VM say not so long ago, that they wern't interested in owning premium content, especially sport?....

They were probably lying to put their competitors off the scent, but it does show how sly LG actually are.
Is this F1 deal the news that was said to be breaking in a day or two?
I agree, it's getting more and more pointless subscribing to pay TV channels in the traditional way.
If I use the price rise to rid myself of the awful TiVo, VM won't refund the advance line rental that I paid. Another sly trick that has done them no favours with me in the long term.
I'm going to downgrade, as I believe that the price increase allows me to do this without giving 30 days notice.

I think VM said that they're not interested in buying sports content in the UK market as it's too competitive a marketplace. LGI does have a sports channel in the Netherlands.
Other sister Liberty companies have always had long-term involvement in sport. Discovery's Eurosport for example. And Liberty Media owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team too.
