Why would they do that when the post gets updated for all channel changes?

 

Yes perhaps some months the only changes are the silly constant renaming of the Sky Cinema changes, but if you look back through the last couple of months you can see plenty of updates about EPG reshuffles and various channels closing.

Re: Changes to the TV Guide - May 2025

The sarcasm of my post appears to have been lost on you.

 

I was referring to this month's particular topic where all of the changes are the "silly constant renaming of Sky Cinema" channels.

Sometimes, the box office channels are temporarily removed. TNT Sports Box Office may be removed from the EPG but will return at a later date. But as of now, there is no information on the channel closing completely..

I'm a little confused with this. I don't understand why these have "ROI" in them. BBC radio channels are not available in Ireland. The only radio channels on Sky on the EPG in Ireland are:


0125 - Panjab Radio
0137 - RTÉ Radio 1
0138 - RTÉ 2FM
0139 - RTÉ Lyric FM
0140 - RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta
0147 - EWTN Catholic
