October is the earliest that I believe that any new channels will be launching (apart from the possibility that the three temporary C4 Paralympic channels may appear.)

I have seen tonight on DS Forum (I forget where I seen it) that an DS Poster says that the Celtic game may appear on Sky Sports 2 as Sky EPG says ''Live Football - Live Football from Sky Sports.''
And the Dundee United will maybe be shown on ESPN on Sunday as ESPN are not showing anything Live for two hours when that SPL game is playing.

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: PictureBox freeview next month on Virgin TV.
I have today been told that Virgin Media customers will get PictureBox absolutely free on Virgin Media on Demand from August 1st to September 1st.
On September 1st PictureBox will go back to being £5 per month extra.

Basically, old movies.

That said, there might be a couple I may be interested in

Totally agree. Wouldn't expect many to pay £5.00 per month for old movies, especially now Lovefilm and Netflix are on the scene.
When Film4 launched, wasn't that £5.00 per month? I wonder if PictureBox are looking to measure demand in view of offering a free service, supported by advertising revenue rather than a monthly subscription cost. I'd be happy with a free movie on demand service if all I had to endure was a few adverts before and during each movie.
