If so, could you please take out your card from the box and let us know if you can still view the channel (this will show if the channel is Free To Air or not).

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
I've got it. What a bizarre mix of programming! Tomorrow has Trigger Happy tv, followed by the first ever episode of London's Burning (1988 - blimey!), then later a documentary about the London Underground and Peep Show.
How does that compare with the other local channels for local people?

Look like a real 'Channel 6' - Estuary TV and Mustard TV only shows things make by them.

Well where else can you see Trigger Happy TV?
Connection by Elastica as the theme and Dom Joly with a massive mobile phone! What's not to like?!
Feeling really sorry for those Estuary guys!

Thanks, it looks like it's not FTA then. It's FTV on Sky, but there are differing reports as to whether it can be viewed via 'other channels' off the EPG outside London.
I can't find a link to the channel on the London Live website, is there one?

BEINSports looking to launch in UK. If launched it would be available on all platforms via a subscription.
