Rupert Murdoch's News UK to launch a new television channel called TalkTV:


"The company is insistent talkTV will not be a traditional rolling news channel and will also feature entertainment, documentaries and sports programming"

Sounds like a more polished version of GB News...

Apparently talkTV is testing on 11386H 29500 with the label 53710, though just showing HD colour bars ATM.

On 11426V 29500 that are also colour bars + time, tagged 52590. Allegedly this is for NBC News Now?

A bit strange if NBC News Now launches on Sky via satellite. It's only streaming in the US. They have the NBC LX network which is news/documentaries which would make a bit more sense.

Are you talking about the sheen on a stool ?
It's going to need some elbow grease to achieve a similar sheen to its main rival, glitching to colour bars & tone is a common occurrence:

The last few days I've noticed on an evening it changes to just showing the talkRADIO promo loop. I guess this is where the Piers Morgan type prime time television shows will be inserted.

The EPG data is now active. The glitching is still happening and seems to be occurring more often. The Youtube live stream also wasn't completely stable when I checked.

I see LiveU and fibre but unsurprisingly no option for satellite on the video source options.

Yes though the transponders in the post you quoted are the wrong way round, TalkTV is on 11426V. At the time both were showing colour bars and the site I sourced the information from guessed wrong :-doh

There are still occasional glitches on the video. Also the colour scheme and graphics look a bit mid-nineties daytime television to me :confused

Someone must have a sense of humour as during the promo loop someone paces off the Piers Morgan set, reminds me of that infamous GMB moment..
