Looked yesterday and I have lost 206.207. 208. Nobody has told us why. Phoned and at the end he hadn't a clue what these channels were could not tell me why this has happened. Any help would be appreciated

Given the widespread adoption of recording and on-demand/catch-up access, broadcast satellite +1 channels are something of an anachronism which cost the channel owner a considerable amount in data charges to run for a decreasing audience.

The +1 channels for Sky Witness/Atlantic have closed (Sky One didn't have one). Can you not just watch the programmes at their regular times on 106/107/108?
