Nepali TV launched onto 834, although it seems to just carry NTV Bangladesh...
 
Sports betting / odds channel SportsXchange launched onto 456 on July 23rd.
 
The BBC Gaelic channel is epg testing on 11953H 27500 2/3 tagged as 6736
 
what's happening on Eurobird 1, tp 11623, 11680 and 11546 ?
they seem to carry FTA versions of SciFi (ID 54015), SciFi+1 (ID 54011), Hallmark+1 (ID 51110) and Diva+1 (ID 54009). And there's some sort of aquarium on ID 50430.....
 
Sci Fi seem to be moving onto EB1. The Hallmark & Diva timeshifts are new and due to launch soon - hadnt got that far in my updating :D

The aquarium appears to be a timeshift for Awareness TV. Now though this might seem to be fairly pointless, Awareness are epg brokers so theres probably a new channel launching through them fairly soon.
 
The owners of the now closed Aapna TV will be launching a new Kashmiri channel called KBC in a few weeks time.

It will broadcast shows in Pahari and Mirpuri, with selected programmes also in Pothowari and Hindko

The backers of Aapna TV had a disagreement over how the channels should be run so went their seperate ways, leading to the establishment of Aap TV and KBC.

KBC is epg testing on 11343H 27500 2/3 tagge as 53275
KBC +1 is epg testing on 12525V 27500 2/3 tagged as 55211
 
Kashmiri channels KBC / KBC 2 expect to launch on August 24th. It looks like the second channel will be known as KBC 2 although it will just be a straight timeshift at least to begin with.
 
Indian channel Colours are looking at launching in the UK at some point.
 
More updates from when I was off on holiday. Two fta tests

Diva +1 - 11662H 27500 2/3 tagged as 54009
Hallmark +1 - 11680V 27500 2/3 tagged as 51110

Both should launch onto the epg in the next couple of weeks.
 
Awareness +1 is testing on 11546H 27500 2/3 tagged as 50430
