    Maybe but I have no idea yet. All I can tell you is what you see above. The channel is invisible in that it has an upgrade screen - but it is carrying UTV in HD.

    There is currently no SD equivalent although earlier today something was done on 10.743 H - the mux with RTE and other Irish services. I do not however know what was done but something on that mux was changed in the background this afternoon - it would not help to speculate - but there is still room I think for another service there - currently 6 SD and one HD with four radio services - so it COULD go there but nobody knows yet.

    No tests on Saorview yet. I thought an announcement about carraige deals would have been made by now.

    To be fair to the poster on DS thread who spotted the test did say he wasn't sure as it was showing an upgrade screen. I was thinking if it was for UTVI HD wouln'd it show this programme isn't available message for UK viewers and also wouln'd UTVI SD tests appear on the irish transponder 10.743 H at the same time.I think there is room for one more SD channel on that transponder.

    That appears to be the speculation in that thread also - http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?p=75690562#post75690562

    It couldn't be the actual UTV Ireland if they haven't started broadcasting. It is common for another feed to be used for testing.

    The channel does not go live until 1st January 2015. Until then they will be various test broadcasts.(Most likely to be carrying their own channel UTV) I suspect they must be up on the Sky epg before the XMAS epg freeze and probably will be showing promo videos for the duration of the epg freeze to launch date.

    I am a Sky subscriber and a movie I had recorded some time ago just showed up in the planner with a UTV Ireland icon. No sign of a channel in the guide though.

    Running trailers now on the frequency in the first post in this thread.

    Not sure if this is a HD feed or not but the quality looks like it might be.

    Wonder what number they'll have in the Sky epg.

    There are two test channels on Sky, one in HD and one in SD. It will be 116 on Sky, HD if you have the HD pack and in SD if you don't.
