Yep, now put back to "before the end of 2013" Conor, by which stage it'll probably be "before Q1 2014" and so on, so on, and so on.

It's not even testing yet.

UTV+1 is also missing.

I thought all contractual and rights issues had been sorted out when they made the announcement in March 2013 ?

No programmes as yet Conor, just EPG data.

Looks like something's going to happen soon, hopefully.
