    Isn't Avago taking ages with testing, because they have to make sure the Interactive application works properly?
    Yes, they do have lots of interactive games/apps, some of which correspond to what is being broadcast live but i'm sure it can't take much longer! :)

    LOL :D

    At what time do you think the channels will launch (challenge +1 ect...)?

    I think they usually launch overnight - so around midnight tonight or possibly in the early hours of the morning.

    I don't work for NTL, so I know as much as you. :)

    I think that quote in the Cable Forum link is a bit strong............."The release of these new channels bring’s ntl’s Digital TV offering closer into line with Sky, which already offered all these channels." Ummm.........they dont bring anywhere nearrrrrrrr close to sky, lol.........just look at all the channels posted in a previous post in this thread. Yes its great we getting them, mebbe no to so much the plus channels, as they are not anything new, but at least we getting livingtv2, and that is new.

    I agree there are so many channels Sky have that NTL don't have, but I am still very glad we are getting the channels. :)

    I would love Real Estate TV, Information TV and The Travel Channel aswell as others.

    Lets hope there is no problems with the launch. :) Unlike last time!

    BTW does anyone have any news of when Avago, ITV 1 London (AD) and Channel 4 (AD) are going to launch?

    It seems like Avago has been testing for ages! :)

    The AD channels carry the Audio Description soundtrack.

    I remember the old ON digital boxes used to have this, if you switched the language to Gaelic.

    Press OK, Left then Right on the front (all butons should end up being pressed at once)- saves unplugging :)

    NTL need to sort out some of the new channel names. :rolleyes:

    UKTV G2 +1 not UKTV G2 + 1

    Is Living TV and Living TV +1 going to change to LIVINGtv and LIVINGtv +1 to match with LIVINGtv2?

    BBC ONE England in the 900s and not BBC ONE [double space] England *
    Channel 4 London (AD) and not Channel 4 [double space] London (AD)
    More 4 and not More4 (that's how it's written on Freeview)
    More 4 +1 and not More4 +1 (that's how it's written on Freeview)
    UKTV Style Gardens and not UKTV Gardens (it will fit in the mini guide area)
    BBC PARLIAMENT and not BBC Parliament
    CBBC and not CBBC Channel

    * If BBC ONE England cannot be renamed due to the channel in position 1/101, why don't they rename it to BBC ONE London (AD) - to match ITV1 London (AD).

    Also, why are VH1 and MTV called VH1 UK and MTV UK? I don't think they are called that on other platforms.

    How come LivingTV2 is on right now? Time is 12:05am - its just a blank screen but its here - is it just testing or is the official launch?

    It seems it isnt the only one on - I can see ITV1 (AD) and Channel 4 London.

    Actually the're all there now - Bravo+1 Challenge+1...so far!

    I dunno about VH1 but MTV UK is a different channel to the satellite channel called MTV Europe.
