Virgin test channels out some times to see if it will work fine ahead of launching an new channel.

I have not seen any launch dates for any new channels - I will post here when/if I get more info.

do you know what channels there testing mate ?

As you know I'm rarely negative when it comes to Virgin tv, but I suspect you may be right.

If Virgin are going to launch an new channel the last time I seen an test channel it was broadcasting for an week before Baby TV launch on old Telewest areas.

I think it maybe any of the following

Sky Movies Classic HD
PBS
Sony TV
OR even ESPN America HD

Sky Sports free weekend confrim by insider.

It doesn't have to be a channel. They could be testing anything at all including a red button stream or something like that.
