Sky1+1 before Sky1? Yeah that makes sense.
Sky News HD on 603? But what about when BBC News HD launches.
Why move VH1 when there is already an opening?
Baby TV is not an exclusive.
And why would they rename XL TV the Premiere Collection when you can have XL without 60mb Broadband and all the rest?

Exclusive...

Asian Channel has been rumbled for telling bs and for copying rumours from other forums.

Not a exclusive....

Back on topic - Netflix looks set to launch nationwide in November according to another forum

Logically, if 120 was assigned to add Sky 1 +1, they would switch channel numbers at launch.

Probably something similar to BBC Parliament getting slot 612. When did EPG positions start making sense?

Of course, it could all just be guess work...

It would make more sense to add some of their missing channels before adding exclusives. One of the True Channels in HD though? You'd think they would sort out widescreen 16:9 playout before taking the leap to HD.

BBC News used to be on 610 so that's probably the reason why BBC Parliament is where it is

Is all quite confusing. Sky 1+1 when we already have sky 2. Channel 4+1 but already have 5.
All we need now is a dating channel called 'singles' then later a 'singles+1' to really confuse.

where do you get your info from as a lot of the channels you have said where coming by a certain date do not come

It'll be worth keeping a eye on the Netflix situation as apparantly VM customers will get a 6 month free trial. Source via another forum with a screenshot.
Also i think we'll see more on demand services arriving in the near future too.

More4HD is now on 203 and Nick JNR2 is now called NickJNRpeppa. Not sure how long NickJNR2 has been like that though.

He just copies info from other forums , i bet some people on other forums have cottoned on what he does and post false information to catch him out.

From the 1st October, they are showing back to back episodes of Peppa Pig. Online listings show this will continue for quite some time...

They did announce that when they moved to their new studios they would be launching an HD similicast shortly after but I tweetd them recently asking why the delay and they are now saying no plans for an HD channel.

There is a QVC HD in Germany but that doesn't really guarantee they'll do the same here.

QVC seems to have declined massively in the UK over the past few years as they have little variety and seem to sell the same stuff constantly now.

Meeja Boy update:

“Some channels may launch. They may launch HD channels, they may launch SD channels. They may not launch at all.”

I'm paraphrasing. Only FOX+ is testing, although they are peddling rumours on the "other forum" of two channels tomorrow and the Sky Atlantic/HD channels not on Virgin rumours are being peddled once again.
