A humble untalented chap like me is not worthy of that MB as may l suggest Muppetman or Old Boy going forward for putting their weighty gravitas behind the channel as they will pull in the punters as they flock to hear their wise pearls of wisdom.

Good if true.
Maybe Virgin Media UK will carry Premier Sports HD as well.
Calling JJ20X.

a516Digital is reporting that Norwich's local TV channel Mustard TV is being sold That's TV.

That's TV's policy of not adding local TV channels to VM is being diluted as they buy out smaller independents which are already carried on VM.
There's not much to report from scan data, I was told over the weekend that the mid month scan update had been postponed as there had been so few changes. The only changes of note at the weekend were the temporary relay of MTV Live HD on EPG channel 100 for V Festival coverage and a new " PPV Slate", which is apparently only available on some of VM's internal networks. Each new service added to VM is given a sequential ID number in the SDT, but the ID number given to the PPV Slate skipped a number. Maybe indicating that some other service had been scheduled to have been added at the same time?
Other than that, there were changes to the linkage section of the NIT (set top box updates etc) and "1 bit" changes to BT / Sky sports channels in the SDT. These are routine changes and beyond the scope of this thread.

The PPV Slate is on TSID 44, which is basically used for app slates (You Tube, Netflix, Worldbox etc) and "Channel Moved" slates, it is also used for pop-up channels such as additional BBC Red Button services. It could be used as a holding slot for PPV events I suppose. More info as I get it...

We just found out that BoxNation do not have an PPV Channel just an part time HD Channel.
Only PPV Channels are Sky Sports Box Office or ITV Box Office (Virgin have them right now).
Outwith that are only Adult channels that offer PPV Channels right now on Sky.

SDT changes since the weekend were the removal of BBC Three, the addition of MTV Beats and service name changes from Sky Hero to Sky Star Wars (SD & HD versions). FreeSports wasn't listed, if it appears on the raw scan data over the next few days, I'll post the details on this thread.
