According to the channel guide. LBC Radio is in the middle of the smut channels.
That's not highbrow now is it?

As per the Media Boy blog, four unnamed channels are currently testing ready for launch.

My opinion is that these will be Viacom channels, including Spike TV and the return of 5* +1.

MB is now reporting that one of the channels has been identified as National Geographic HD. The others remain testing off the EPG with code names.

Hoping that one of them is UniversalHD but won't be holding my breath!

There's nothing on that page to suggest that SP is coming to VM

Yup, the channel itself has closed, with content being moved to channels that are on VM.

One (minor) change to narrow the gap between Sky channels on satellite and cable.

I think that there's now only Sky Atlantic, Pick +1, Sky 3D (now a part time channel expected to eventually close) and Sky One +1 missing. Have I missed any?

Sorry for the confusion, I omitted the word 'Wild' in error. It is expected that this channel will launch on EPG number 229. Is this channel currently on Sky?

A new Hindi channel from Zee TV called '&TV' starts on 6 April at 7pm. It is expected that Lamhe will be removed to accommodate this.

Sky Box Office HD (for live PPV). If we have to pay £20 to watch Mayweather Pacquiao it'll be ridiculous if it's only in SD.

Is it the same price on VM as it is on Sky?

If so, it is unfair that people pay the same for SD only.

I have heard a rumour that Boxnation HD may be launching on VM.

Update: Lamhe will close completely on 1 April and &TV starts in it's old slot on 6 April.

It's Al Jazeera English HD that's coming. I now believe that it "will start in May" and may not necessarily be on the 1st of the month.
