Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Maybe they're holding them back and are going to release all at once along with a EPG shuffle. Seems bad to keep us waiting but maybe its easier to advertise new channel(s) (numbers) and such at once instead of its just suddenly being there, 4364643 slots away from sister channels, a la Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Have emailed N.B. also. Will be interesting to read what he has to say on the matter, if it is anything more than the standard pre-formatted answers
Will copy and paste here if I get a reply.

Think it's been pretty obvious what's been testing in the past 10 months.
Zip!
