I don't mind being nominated Sky basically be given their loss of EPG but get the chance because it often promotes a Music that should never be reduced to keep 350-399 range. The 360-399 will be able to do well in another shuffle down, or avoid the whole 39 channels whilst doing a mock up NOW Music. Someday Sports PPV are an average contains 490-499,  also give 450-459 usable numbers, tends to move into the right space to allow Music 460-499/540-579 section. Because I absolutely guarantee it’s just entertainment/documentaries overspill section but didn't move in the end to stay on 350-399/360-399 refuse HD between 340-349. There 5 left.

Hmm maybe Music could've easily moved down after October 2020 shuffle in the first place for 16 channels.

 

Options:

 

Music............ 360-399 - https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/1604157/epg-reshuffle-in-april-2012  didn't move down in the first place to avoid movie genre.

Music............ 460-499 or allow Sports PPV on 450-459, Entertainment/Documentaries ovesrpill......... 360-399.

Music............ 540-579 after Specialist removed, Entertainment/Documentaries ovesrpill......... 350-399.

@Timelord2018 Sky meant to be DreamWorks after 2015 launch, but failed.


I dont understand what you mean

 

Both Dreamworks and Sky have the parent company- Comcast and it's been like that since 2018.


Just an additional note to avoid confusion;

 

  • DreamWorks Channel is owned by NBCUniversal.
  • DreamWorks Pictures is owned by Amblin Partners (joint venture between Reliance Entertainment, Lionsgate Studios, Alibaba Pictures, and Universal Pictures)

So Channel 5 still no longer standard definition, but also HD showing the same program.

Imagine why Sky don't reshuffle SD channels slot should be pulled 800 series including kids section, Weather Shopping Imagine why Sky don't reshuffle SD channels slot should be pulled 800 series including Kids Section, Weather Shopping retains the 660-699 can always move back to 650 or reduced 640-649 imo.

Thank you @KevNewMedia 

 

Please could you also feedback to the web team that U&alibi is entirely absent from:

https://www.sky.com/tv/ultimate-tv 
https://www.sky.com/tv/ 


Given it's on Sky 109 (before even U&GOLD) and one of the most popular channels on Sky, it seems like an obvious omission.

I think Disney+ Cinema will launch on

  • Channel 164 on Sky Q (National Geographic Wild (a Disney brand channel) is on there in the Channel Isles only, it might be moved back to 165).
  • Channel 159 in the UK on Sky Glass/Stream (nearest empty slot)
  • Channel 150 in Ireland on Sky Glass/Stream (nearest empty slot)

There might be a deal with Sky & Disney to put it in the Entertainment section instead of the movies section

 

Or if it is to be in the movies section:

  • Channel 316 on Sky Q (empty slot) 
  • Channel 320 on Sky Glass/Stream (empty slot)

Or Movies24, Film4, Film4 +1 and Movies24+ gets pushed one place down and it launch on 312 (Sky Q) or 313 (Sky Glass/Steam).

Based on Disney+Cinema existing around Nat Geo is almost identical to the Worldwide are now trying to advertise Channel Islands,  It's the standard EPG operate Sky Replay particularly after it closed down! At this point must be given a new slot where Sky cannot do a big purchase like the 152/164. Didn't even bother Sky Cinema Animation as if EPG banish and are replaced the 305. When TCM sold Quest back in 2023 slots would be very difficult to replace 315/316 since the introduction of Sky simulcast.
