Installing a Samsung V box today, noticed in the installer menu, ITV HD was on channel 118. Possible testings?! Maybe sooner than we think...

Tried checking the V+ box today but not able to get to the channel screen on V+ box or the other V Boxes.

Please note: I have seen this with my own eyes and will provide a screenshot on the next samsung install I do if anyone dont believe me.

I think the itv hd you saw was when it was on telewest a few years ago for the world cup and they never removed it.

Ahh yes, good thinking. I forgot about that!

Ae you sure it wasn't ITV HID you saw?

HID is used for Interactive video services (I think Channel 4 have one ending in HID for Big Brother streaming).

the problem is the Samsung boxes aren't HD compatible so even if it had the channel it won't be HD

Any chance we could see The Fight Network on Virgin Media anytime in the near future? Also would it be possible for Virgin Media to get WWE 24/7 as it is a VOD channel in the States?

I have no info on The Fight Network coming to Virgin.

I read in 2005 (I think) that NTLTelewest may bid for the WWE the next time the deal is up in 2010 so WWE 24/7 may coming to Virgin On Demand if Virgin beat Sky.

You will be pleased to read that we are currently in discussion
with Virgin regarding the carriage of BBC ALBA on cable. We hope to have
the service available on cable on or very soon after its launch date on
19th September.
