02/11/05: now we know something more about the new and mysterious XXXX channel which appeared yesterday (see above) on Atlantic Bird 1, 12°.5 west and on italian analogue terrestrial broadcasting. It should be the italian version of MTV2 in its pre-launch state. A logo of MTV2 US has been spotted and also a short new music bulletin made by 'La7 Televisioni s.p.a.' which is tightly connected to MTV Italia, because it's fully part of Telecom Italia Media, which also owns 51% of MTV Italia. In addition, on satellite, channel provider is identified as TIMB1, and TIMB means Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting.
