Seems odd they added over 60 days before launch - when its a free (to sports customers) channel anyway.

They want people to register for two years free broadband in that time in order to counter people leaving when the Champions League coverage switches to BT.

IF, they have agreed to have these channels, how long does it take to press a button.

How do you know that it is not Sky that are stipulating the launch date? You are making some assumptions here, Arthur.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but does anyone know the channel numbers for the additioonal BBC Red Button channels starting on Monday 23 June?

There is a total of 5 SD channels on air - including the existing one at presentbut VM only carries the first one at the moment.

991 is RB1 but can anyone confirm any numbers for the extra ones? Thanks.

With Red Button 1 being on Channel 991 I think the rest will be on Virgin Channels 992, 993, 994, 995, 996 with HD Channel on 990 or 997.
