The BBC have already announced that the CRB will get 6 streams, but the platforms others won't.

Yup - the Springwatch stream via the Connected Red Button is an Internet one and not channel that's appeared

I thought so, although you really should quote the right poster Ben.

Whilst channel hopping last night I spotted athletics from Rome on 994 around 2045 or so... perhaps a test?

Indeed, they do seem to be cutting poor old MB out of the picture with these recent additions.

It's very vague and only really states that the BBC are looking at making BBC Four documentaries available in HD. Which could mean showing them on BBC Two, or could mean they will be shown on one of the new BBC HD channels planned for the additional freeview DVB-T2 multiplexes.

Well, that's certainly not going to happen across all platforms, unless they go for 1/4 resolution streams.

I do not care if Virgin is 'Cutting' me out.

I am just happy to see Virgin Media launching new channels.

I think of Virgin Media like an School:

Them who test and launch channels play in the big end of the school.
Them who help us when we call Virgin up play in the wee end of the school.

Maybe the big end of the school is not telling the wee end of the school about the new channel launches until launch day now.

I was only saying that why some posters are getting 'No room for new channels to launch' for when they call Virgin Media CS.

The Testers are someone like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLuEY6jN6gY of the Virgin Media family of workers.

CS are just the baby of the family of workers.

As night turns to day this was inevitable.

Surely our Sky Sports can't go up as we are already paying £4.25 more than Sky customers for it.
