Re: Changes to the TV Guide - February 2025

  • ​Sky Valentines  (Satellite 302 - Sky Glass/Stream 302)  renames to AwardsSeason  / AwardSeasonHD (temporary change)

Is the name of the channel:
Sky Cinema Awards Season
or
Sky Cinema Award Season
?

I am assuming "AwardSeasonHD" was used due to lack of space. 

Also changes should show the full name of the channel and not the abbreviated/EPG name. 
The change should be written as: 

 

  • (Satellite/Sky Glass/Stream 302)  - Sky Cinema Valentines [on EPG as Sky Valentines] renames to Sky Cinema Awards HD [AwardSeasonHD] - (temporary change)

(Assuming it's "Awards". Also there are no Sky Cinema SD channels on Sky)

  • Sky Cinema Thriller (Satellite 306/850 309 - Sky Glass/Stream 309) changes name to  Sky Assassins / Sky AssassinsHD (temporary change)

I think Sky Cinema Thriller is wrong, it should be 
(Satellite 309, Sky Glass/Stream 309)

This is not the question I asked. I asked if the channel name is:

Sky Cinema Award Season or Sky Cinema Awards Season. (With or without the S in Award/Awards)

On the EPG name, there is limited space, so I assumed the EPG name "AwardSeasonHD" was used due to the lack of space.

You stated that there were no Sky Cinema SD channels on Sky @ZyloKai 

At which point of @Kelsingra post referred to SD

But you overlooked Sky Cinema Valentines on channel 302 isn't the dropped so it's SkyValentineHD no SD mentioned

20250215_221234.jpg

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you also state this

 

"Also changes should show the full name of the channel and not the abbreviated/EPG name. 
The change should be written as: 

 

(Satellite/Sky Glass/Stream 302)  - Sky Cinema Valentines [on EPG as Sky Valentines"

 

         On the EPG it's written like this

 

                  Sky CINEMA HD

                           Valentine

Read carefully:

 

Sky Cinema Valentines is being rebranded to Sky Cinema Award Season or Sky Cinema Awards Season? (With or without the "S" in "Awards"/"Award"?)


On Sky's EPG, there is only Sky Cinema HD channels. 

In regard to the below example, there is no channel 850 for ​​Sky Cinema Family SD. I think this was a typo.

  • Harry Potter (Satellite 306/850 - Sky Glass/Stream 306) renames to ​​Sky Family/Sky Family HD (reverting from a temporary change)

Regard to this: 
"Also changes should show the full name of the channel and not the abbreviated/EPG name. 
The change should be written as: ...", I was referring to this thread you're reading, not the EPG name, for example:


Sky Cinema Harry Potter ["Harry Potter" on EPG] (Satellite 306/850 - Sky Glass/Stream 306) renames to ​​Sky Cinema Family [Sky Family]/Sky Cinema Family HD [Sky Family HD] (reverting from a temporary change).

 

where the name in square brackets is the name shown on the EPG.
 

If you don’t understand the question, please don’t contribute to this conversation.

Oh wow, I give up. @best+of+the+best I just don't know what to tell you anymore. I've tried explaining it several times to you. 

Look at this, specifically the underlined

Sunday 16th February 2025
 
  • ​Sky Valentines  (Satellite 302 - Sky Glass/Stream 302)  renames to AwardsSeason  / AwardSeasonHD (temporary change)

The SD version says "AwardsSeason" or Sky Cinema Awards Season SD, and  the HD version says "AwardSeasonHD" (with no s in Awards) or Sky Cinema Award Season HD (again "Award" and not "Awards", one without an S and one with an S in "Awards")


My question was: 

Is the new name:
Sky Cinema Award  Season HD/SD
or
Sky Cinema Awards Season HD/SD
?

I really genuinely don't know how to make it clearer.

Re: Changes to the TV Guide - February 2025

The constant renaming of the Cinema channels is, frankly, stupid. Bring back the numbers and be done with it. Please.
