SKY Bug? - I Get Free Adult Channels Everytime The Clocks Go Back Or Forwards

Does anyone here remember the year when the clocks went back - but the SKY time didn't... I think it was 2 years ago.

Back then I noticed sometime between 4 or 5am that SKY adult channels 906/ 907/908 seemed to be operating for free.

I told someone at work and he didn't believe me, so the next year when the clocks were going back, I decided to look again... and again those adult channels seem to operate free after the 4 or 5am.

Last night the clocks went forward so I looked at about 4am this morning... and boom... SKY channel 906 (XXX Public Pikups) is operating free - but only this one channel.

I have just looked a minute ago and channel 906 is still operating free.

IS it just me? I always check Twitter to see if anyone else mentions it but it appears not!

I notice that this particular channel says "XXX publicpickups/Amateurs has closed.

So am assuming I can watch it for free until it gets removed.

Any chance I can have a free sports channel instead?

Good try but you have no chance of that.

That would cost Sky money.

Free adult channels is a loss to those companies which apparently haven't yet heard of this newfangled thing called 'the internet'.

Hmm I wonder if the date has something to do with this

To be fair it's embarrassing to stumble across the adult channels so I wouldn't be posting it as an April Fools joke.

As my friend at work didn't believe me, this time I made some quick recordings to prove it, so I'll attach a photo of the video list below...

31st March:

April 1st:

You don't see any 'lower bits' just boobs, so I don't know if the content they are showing free has been edited to be tame - I'd have thought that someone paying to watch that channel would expect more than just boobs.

It's a shame because I then went through all the channels to see if I could find any more freebies,

It would have been great to be able to watch the Vancouver Whitecaps taking on the Portland Timbers but sadly I wasn't able to.

It's obviously a bug in a system somewhere, this time it only appears to be XXX Public Pikups but when it comes to Sunday 27th October this year, if after 4AM you go through the SKY Channels from 900 up to 910 I bet you will also some adult channels broadcasting free.
