Worldbox is a portal to international channel content. The red button start isn't working on my receiver yet though so maybe the red button hadn't been activated on the station this morning.
I don't know if it is subscription based or free or a mixture of both. I'm really surprised there haven't been any Polish channels launched on VM. There are quite a lot of Poles in the country and surely at least two or three channels would be a good start and would be well received by the Polish community in the UK. |

Looked on the VM website, nothing there about this Worldbox feature.
Which foreign channels are available? |

The channel list on Worldbox is pretty pathetic.
Will it expand to include other countries? |

In fact, it's not even worth thinking about. That's why Sky Sports and BT Sport are there. |

Worldbox's correct channel list at the moment is only...
Canal 24 Horas - Spanish news channel. Sic International - General Portuguese channel. 1+1 International - General Ukrainian Channel. Nessma - Tunisian entertainment channel which is coming soon. I could have thought of many options in terms of international diasporas in the UK. Channels from Ireland, Poland, Italy, South Africa, Nigeria, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, Turkey, Greece, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, France, the Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and a few other nations could potentially be a good fit for the service. I'm not expecting grade A entertainment channels for many of these without subscriptions but it should be feasible to have stuff like 24 hour news channels and the wide range of international services from many countries which tend to focus on homemade shows rather than expensive imports and are often shown free to air around the world. Worldbox won't be useful with three and a half channels but if it got to 20 or 100, then there is very real potential in the service, especially if a wide range of English language international news channels were provided and not just foreign language services. |

I'm surprised that there aren't any Polish channels on there, given the number of Polish immigrants in the UK i'm sure it would be popular.

I think they are meant to arrive in January. Also they have made more space in the late 900's by moving some radio stations but I don't know what for,Possibly more red button streams.

Learned today that more foreign language channels will be starting on the Worldbox app in January:
Eurochannel- http://www.eurochannel.com shows that they show some English content. BFM TV (French). Ukraine Today. CTC (Russian). Four more (no further information available as yet). |
