It isn't a rebrand, it's new channel, Sky Sports Action & Arena continue aswell, looks like Sky acquired 412.

 

Sky Sports Arena is showing EFL on 13th & Sky Sports Action is showing Premier League Darts Glasgow on 15th for example.

@Timelord2018 412 only applies to glass/stream not satellite according to op ( @KevNewMedia are you able to clarify?)

 

edit ignore me all this moving around of channels is confusing there is a 412 on satellite from 9th February

Hi Everyone

 

Here's some further information around the Tennis channel launch - I've updated the first post.

 

  • Sky customers can use Voice to search for Sky Sports Tennis, making finding the channel really easy!
  • From the 11 February, Sky Sports Tennis will be on 408, before transitioning to 407 which will be the permanent channel home from 13 February.
  • From 13 February (after the Super Bowl), Sky Sports Action will move to 408 and Sky Sports Arena will be on 412.

Thanks

I use my favorite channels section on Sky Q and put sports between 50 & 59, with cinema between 60 & 69
