The "Sky TV channels on PlayStation and Xbox" and "Channels available on Sky Go" links needs to be updated. It still has the likes of "ITV Encore" and "TNT Sports", which I think changed into ITVBe.

Hey @Anonymous

We don't I'm afraid, the team are still working through the technical problems.

Now Music Channels

Le01 — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 17:58:41 GMT

Hi!, So, these were due to launch on November 20th on both Sky Glass and Sky Stream but have been delayed, we are not at December 3rd 2024, so are we any closer to having a date for the launch please?.

I really hope it will not be too long and that they might just be added and that we will get a post or information from Sky to inform us that they have added them.

Once there is a date known, it will be posted in the first post here. (If in December 2024.)

These updates are subject to change.

Apparently according to cordbusters they are coming tonight https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/now-music-channels-arrive-sky-glass-stream/

The five music channels have just arrived on my Sky Stream

The pq does not look that bad either.

Do remember those channels looked pretty poor on Sky Q if I recall correctly.

So assume as other sd channels do, a nice bit of redress with Sky Stream.

Re: Changes to the TV Guide - December 2024

Surely they will also be added to the new sky stream essentials package

Good Morning All

Apologies for the late announcement of the music channels on Glass/Stream as we've been out of the office over the last couple of days. I'll update the main post 😀

Good to see the new music channels finally appear.

A question though, and not a dig at NOW at all, but why are all music videos on these channels so poor quality? Even MTV are awful quality. The on screen graphics are also low quality. If these are 'HD' I'll eat my hat.

Surely HD masters of these videos exist? Especially for new releases! Just something I've never really understood - like The Box back in the day were broadcasting music videos clearly produced in 16:9 but broadcast as a 4:3 video stretched to fill a 16:9 frame. Truly bizarre.

I always find the older 80s/90s videos on Now look awful as if they've been ripped from YouTube, but the same videos on the MTV music channels are much better quality.

Has there been any announcement of hull launching in the uk?

Hull content is primarily on Disney Plus (though there are exemptions)

Anyway streaming services are not on this list, this is for linear channels.

I thought Hulu was basically Disney+? They are both owned by 20th Century.

For the most part. Yes, but with everything when it comes to international distribution of programmes there are exemptions.

Sometimes this is due to prodocution or distributor being different for international as opposed to US, sometimes other tv services had rights to it before Star on Didney launched in uk & ireland
