Thanks for the tip-off, theone, both rumours sound quite likely to me.

Should be good if it makes it past the rumour stage.

Yes get well soon good sir. At least you can stay up late and watch RAW and Smackdown...though how its written lately might make you more sick.

I read that as bringing pay per view content then and scoffed...Now im intrigued. Does it show anything good? Isn't Starz that really cheesy american low budget channel?

i like cringy american shows so colour me intrigued.

MTV Beats is on TS ID 18 with a service ID of 1812.

Testing on EPG slot 841 in the International section of the EPG. It has flags for the Mix, M+, L/Fun & XL/Full House packs.

It is testing on 5 internal VM networks.
Is Virgin Media UK testing MTV Beats with Video yet?

Starz is the home of shows such as American gods, black sails, outlander, power to name a couple.
Being off ill means more gaming time lol i tend to watch WWE on hulu edited versions so cuts out a lot of the filler rubbish.

Possibly on the 5 networks where it is testing, the presence of package info suggests that the streams have been encrypted.

But if you meant to ask if video and audio streams had been rolled out across the national network, the answer is no. VM hadn't rolled out video and audio streams across the network when I received the last update. I will post the details here when the situation changes.

UPDATE:

As I'm not sure when I will get updated scan data, I checked the digitalbitrate site. It appears that MTV Beats Video and Audio streams have now been rolled out across the national network.

Are they any good though, MB, or is it just more of the same (eg reality, low grade drama, old films, etc)?

Where did you get that idea, Den? Even VM's own staff don't know what's going on (apart from the inner circle and those they leak to!

Media Boy reckons he knows, but as he never lets on, how do we know?

The whole set up is a con!
