Lost channels
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

If you are new to the forum then welcome to the Community, which is predominantly made up of Sky customers helping other Sky customers. You aren’t talking to Sky by posting here.
They have been permanently removed, two of them yesterday
-
Sky Witness+1 (Satellite 207) closes permanently
-
Sky Atlantic+1 (Satellite 208 - 209 Wales) closes permanently

Re: Lost channels
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?
