I meant ITVBe +1 and ITVBe HD
They aren't on any other platform- very odd.

I agree, but it is odd that they aren't on Sky for maximum exposure- especially as Sky and ITV appear to have got back into bed together.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Is there a ITVBe+1 channel?
updated 19/11/14
ITVBe+1 is currently only available on Virgin Media, channel 120. It is reported that ITVBe+1 will be available on satellite and Freeview in the future.
Standard or High Definition?
updated 19/11/14
ITVBe HD is currently only available on Virgin Media, channel 179, for viewers with a higher-tier subscription. It is reported that ITVBe HD will be available on Sky in the future. Earlier in 2014, ITV indicated that the HD channel would not be free-to-view.

It's odd that they aren't even testing it off the EPG on satellite ready for when an SD slot becomes available for the timeshift variant/Freesat. Also, there's nothing to stop them launching the HD version immediately.
I assume that ITV must be supplying VM with a direct feed as there isn't actually anywhere for VM to pick up the feed from!
In other news, i've been informed that the people behind the Made In (insert city here) portfolio of Local TV channels have approached VM with a view to having their VOD Player carried, which they state will be launched sometime in 2015.
They have also promised to have their various websites up and running in the new year. Apparently, their website/s don't even carry programme listings at the moment! I'm not sure what they actually consist of as i've never looked, but would have thought that this would have been a priority before transmissions commenced- especially as i've noticed that Local TV on VM has no Series Links!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Most of VM's HD channels are line fed direct to the SHE at Langley in an uncompressed format, so no need for a satellite feed.

Media Boy HQ has not been given any DNP Orders or news on any new channels coming or even testing on Virgin Media this side of the Holidays bar that one confirmed new channel - Bay TV Liverpool next week.
Unconfirmed reports say That’s Solent may launch on Wednesday in some areas including Portsmouth, Fareham, Southampton and Winchester on Virgin Channel 159*.
*Rumour on That's Solent Newsroom twitter feed and DS Forum.
