    This new channel launches on June 2nd and will feature such back catalogue stuff as Taggart and Take The High Road/High Road.

    STV Glasgow will be available on Freeview channel 23, Sky channel 117 and Virgin channel 159. Will it be available outside Scotland on Sky?

    Wouldn't have thought so for copyright reasons.:(

    Anymore word on Channel 4 +1 HD? I thought that was coming soon?

    I really don't understand why Sky haven't got a Sky 2 HD by now, especially with first run shows being put on there, and maybe Pick HD, for the same reasons, even if it was Sky and Virgin only.

    Noting the new Sky Sports channel order from 12/8. Wonder how long it will be before Sky shifts Sky Sports News HQ to allow more sensible channel numbering.

    I'm slighty OTT angry about this change!

    It's like the marketing department are having a nightmare?

    Not bothered about the SkySports News name change to HQ but moving it to 401 is madness >:(

    Everyone knows that moving News to 406 and having the sports channels 401-405 is the sensible option???

    Rant over and now breath.... :blush:

    My point exactly about the impending channel order. As for adding the HQ, I don't mind that much neither, but some may recall the short lived monicker of skysportnewsws.com TV being another marketing nightmare.

    My TV listings app is showing French news service I-TELE as appearing on channel 267 - although it's currently listed on the Sky box as '?TV' and is blank without now/next information. Is I-TELE actually due a Sky launch? Would make it only the second French channel in the line-up - and significantly higher up the EPG as well.

    ?TV is a placeholder owned by AMC (who run the CBS channels) so they may have sold the slot to Canal+. What's your TV listings app?

    Made in Leeds now running a promo on Freeview Channel 8. Anyone know when the Sky transmissions will start?

    As it's specifically 'local' to the Leeds area will they want to go on Satellite? - which would rather void the 'local' part.

    Some of the local channels will be on satellite, like London Live and STV Glasgow which are already there. Made in Leeds is also planning to launch on Sky, according to their website.

    From having retuned our Freeview equipment I see that ITVBe launches on October 8th as there is a place holder for it with a message of when it launches but no tests I don't think yet.

    Got a Virgin leaflet through the post today that said CNN HD was coming. Is this a typo and if not, any news on it coming to Sky???

    Could you possibly take a picture of it and post it here?

    how do I do that? I should clarify, it doesn't explicitly SAY that CNN is launching but includes it on its list of HD channels
