BT Preview and BT Preview HD arrived on SKY about a week ago on channels 457 and 458. All they are showing at the moment is endless BT adverts and promos. I'll assume these will become BT Showcase and BT Showcase HD in the coming months.

We are not allowed to put dished on the building even though i own my apartment. This means i have no choice but BT or cable

It turns out that the blocks of flats I live in has the same restrictions. The people who own apartments have just ignored the company who own the building and have put up dishes anyway. 
As such, my new landlord is going to let me have Sky and I am going to go against my better judgement and take a risk on sky again for their latest offer. It really is great value, although I wont be getting movies or sports, even at half price I am still reluctant to pay their prices - I simply won't watch enough content to justify it. £18 a month for the family bundle will suit me just fine.

I was up at 3am last week and saw BT Showcase broadcasting on Freeview HD and can confirm it just BT adverts and Promos for an hour - so far.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
Strange to me that why VM are having technical problems in launching a new channel on their platform!

We think it an new broadcasting steam Nat Geo Wild HD is launching on. That why up to 8 V0-- channels are also testing.
But saying that VM did have some technical problems launching channels in the past with the well known ones being The Africa Channel, ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD.

Well even if they don't have technical problems they sure take their time delivering sometimes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
BT Showcase has been there part-time since BT Sport 2 went - BT Sport 1 hasn't left yet.

It may have close this week (they did some removes on Thursday) - it was there earlier in the week.
BT Showcase appeared on 1st April.
