Just fiddling around with Add Channels on Sky, and came up with a channel called 7521. All it is is coloured bars but I was wondering if anyone knows what it might be.

I heard Roxy 24/7 was launching soon, a new music channel by Tyne Tees TV. I could be wrong though.

Well a name was on the coloured bars sating something like William Hall. I wonder if that's any help to any of you.

7521

It's encrypted and not in my package but I would assume the bars are from NTL William Road.

7521 is not new and has been around for years now.

It was the E4 Interactive Big Brother Live feed for Big Brother 5 in 2004 and has been displaying the coloured bars ever since. People thought it would get reused for Big Brother 6 in 2005 but it wasnt. A different feed label was used for Big Brother in 2005. In fact, test label "3310" was used for Big Brother Live in 2005. This test label became More 4 +1 later in 2005.

William Road perhaps? That's an NTL switching centre
