Imho mate they are all as bad as each other they need their heads banging together.

Yeah you would of thought considering bt own plusnet they'd do the same.
I've seen speculation that they will be giving plusnet fibre customers bt sports for free and are launching plusnet tv before new football season but we shall see lol.

EDIT:
Atm i'm playing with a android emulator on my pc not bluestack i'm trying various on demand players such as 40d,itv,btsport etc. I will post a update in the streaming thread when i've finished as may be useful for some of you guys.

Yes, Plusnet TV "coming soon" is something else! Maybe they'll decide not to adopt YouView afterall and go for the Netgem box as used by EE.

Updated today. Don't know why it states +1 though?

There was an intention to open a QVC HD channel in the UK, but this was put on hold around the start of the recession.

Interesting that it was updated today, though i've read that sometimes an update on the OFCOM website makes it look like a licence has been updated when it hasn't.

Is this a new development?

No wild Cards.

The list of potential channels is made up of upto 15 ideas we have got.

They have been removed from testing - not given "real" channel names.

Are these on top of Nat Geo Wild HD launching?

History HD would be good. Anyone who watches Vikings will definitely benefit from the HD version.

AH! some delightful channels on there. I see fox news has appeared from nowhere. a channel i have wanted for some years due to the comedy gold you get on it. Id also like spike to launch and mtv classic as my mum liked that channel...

throw history HD in there too and i'd be a happy chap! even though and i constantly say this the history chanel annoys me due to its lack of history

i fear though it'll be CI HD and comedy central +1 or something disappointing!

exciting times.

If these code named channels are encrypted, a good way to find out what they are is to turn on the subtitles ;-)

Still not working where I am, Catch Up 4OD says - no progs currently available and On Demand is the same as its always been. Seems like they are going around the regions and we should all have it soon (hopefully).
