Didn't BT sign with Universal first so could this be a sign of things to come.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Apologies in advance if this has already been posted, if it has I can't find it  but I've just noticed this on VM's TV page, confirmation of the upcoming HD channels by the end of July, with Living HD to follow soon after.

Yes
You need either a samsung 2110 or 3110 box, or you need dvb-c card (no i will not say how if you wanted to do that you are breaking the tc and you ar eon your own how to do it)
The box you need th engineer menu to verify they are testing, viewing the channesl is a little more tricky i wont explain that, try the epg number if oyu seen it in the engineer menu if it works your in luck if not then it complex way to view it a believe
