You can't see anything, only the old slates that were originally there. The video will be added later 3-6 where you see 3 & 4 and 7-9 where you can currently see 7 & 8. The UHD channel will appear on the same stream as BBC Red Button HD.
The only reason you can see anything is because the old slates haven't been moved yet, timing differences. The same reason as QVC Extra temporarily showing as Fox +1.

Just found EPG for an other Eurosport HD is showing on BBC Red Button 2.

But my TiVo says BBC Red Button HD is staying broadcast after Thursday.
So I think the following will happen:
NOW > (Was)
Eurosport UHD > (BBC Red Button 2)
Eurosport 3 HD > On CO75
Eurosport 4 HD > On CO75
Eurosport 5 HD > (BBC Red Button 3)
Eurosport 6 HD > (BBC Red Button 4)
Eurosport 7 HD > On CO64
Eurosport 8 HD > On CO64
Eurosport 9 HD > (BBC Red Button 5)
Here is EPG Channels for them (Media Boy working numbers only)
561. Eurosport UHD
563. Eurosport 3 HD
564. Eurosport 4 HD
565. Eurosport 5 HD
566. Eurosport 6 HD
567. Eurosport 7 HD
568. Eurosport 8 HD
569. Eurosport 9 HD
Channel numbers may change.

Another timing difference, digitalbitrate hasn't updated Red Button 2's sid number yet.

Not doubting you, but any chance of a source please. I'd like to learn where to look for this sort of thing.

Obviously, by UHF I mean UHD. Sorry, trying to concentrate on other things.

They should appear soon anyway, it wasn't really worth me asking about them.

Am I right in thinking QVC Extra (when launch) will get EPG Channel 743?
