Can someone check if Disney Channel HD is on channel 725 yet?

I'd check myself, but the other half is watching another programme.

I've just had one of those weekly emails updates about what to watch from Virgin Media Presents and in the subject line it says "We're giving you a free channel this summer" which shows the Disney Channel HD logo being on channel 724.

Anyone else had this email yet?

No idea on when next update will be.

[TAZMANUK]

I've got the same email as above.

I do see the Disney HD logo on that email but points to Disney standard def channel only.

What I can gather the so called free channel to xl customers is the premier sports channel till end of August.

So not really a permanent channel :/

Do you mean shows that have not been picked up by a UK broadcaster?

Isn't it better that Sky has them via on demand, than no one in the UK has access?

One of these shows is Justified, which channel 5 had, and then dumped!

Is it just me or does Comedy Central seem to be dying a slow, painful death? It seems to me that it airs repeats of Friends ten hours a day, 7 days a week.

We feel Viacom need to come up with new ideas for channels.

Axe Channel 5 +24 for start.

The only show i watch on it is impratical jokers and now that's just repeats i think the channel needs either revamping or putting out of it's misery.

No problem with me at the moment catching up with the two seasons of The Middle I missed when Sky dropped the show and my series link was useless in not knowing what channel had picked up the series
