Was told at the weekend that Arte are currently in negotiations with VM to join the platform. No idea if this will be linear or Worldbox.

They have two channels on satellite, with mainly German and French soundtracks, but an English version is available online.

I imagine that the online English version is what we will end up with on Worldbox- my conjecture only, I wasn't told this last part.

[Media Boy UK]

We have seen info that some channels are rumours to be set to launch on Virgin Media UK. We was given the info on an Do Not Post order.
