Your talking about DTT CH40 ~ 43??  If so these are coming AKL Sky Tower  along with Shine on CH25.  They are test channels I believe..  FV certified devices can't pick up these channels as they seem top be locked out as a friend of mine discovered  when his nice new FreeView TV  couldn't tune into Shine.

Those channels aren't part of Sky so the title is a little miss leading.
