Re: Freesat and VM
Why would Virgin sell Freesat?
I think if you are in a non-cabled area, you can get a Virgin branded Freeview STB, but AFAIK VM do not sell Freesat & I can't think of any reason why VM would have anything to do with Freesat.
Choices for HD in the UK:
Sky HD (BBC HD & C4 HD free; Sky HD channels req. a Sky HD Mix subscription)
Freesat (BBC HD & ITV HD free, C4 HD hopefully coming soon).
Virgin Media V+ (BBC HD, plus HD VOD stuff)

Isn't Rush encrypted? It certainly used to be.
Luxe HD is a waste of a HD encoder with too low a bitrate.

Rush is indeed encrypted. Pulled my smartcard and lost the channel.

Re: Freesat and VM
It's probably a TV station dedicated to the Jennifer Rush who had one hit in the 80s "the power of love" 
Or it may be

Rush is in the sports section of the EPG so its sports of some kind.

After having a look at the link you provided for Rush TV I'm just glad we at VM don't get it.
