Youtube?    You can search for favourite bands and create your own playlist.

Yep, YouTube is a great source of entertainment, my sky box has not been used for months and for a few years YouTube is where I do 99% of my viewing

So is Kerrang coming back?  Ever?  2 days is long enough for the utter crap currently on the channel.

Well if they ARE bothering to work on it they're sure taking their time!

@samlewis6  It's probably a lot more complicated than you realise.

[PATV+Scunthorpe]

@samlewis6 They are very much working on it, but as I said, the priority is getting BBC One, BBC Two, Channel 4 and Channel 5 back on their normal feeds. You need to understand that the people at Red Bee are working on dozens of channels that have gone off air and a couple of music channels aren't of high priority (especially as Channel 4 own The Box Plus Network, so are focusing on the 4 branded channels more than the music channels).

As @GD1 said, it is much more complicated than you realise. The systems are broken, they need repairing, if they don't have spares, they need ordering. This is a very rare situation, but it has happened, and it is going to take time to get all systems back up and running.

Yes. Just read through the thread for the explanation.

@Matthew0099

You should be a journalist with that level of research and depth of understanding.

@Rhonny 

Maybe Kerrang viewers need complicated technical terms like 'broken' translated into something more familiar?

@dazza20  Have a read of this thread https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/What-s-On/Cannot-watch-Kerrang/td-p/3777370

The broadcast centre used by those channels (amongst many others) was damaged in an incident involving its fire-supression system on the evening of Saturday 25th and both are still off-air.  You'll find posts on this in the What's On forum.
