Re: Changes to the TV Guide - May 2026

Something I keep wondering about is That's TV 2 and 3 no longer exists. It appears that not only new channels have been introduced, maybe if Sky EPG could've chosen to move up Entertainment/ Documentaries or keep vacant - will close gap imo.

Entertainment & Documentaries

171: That's TV (UK)
172: Disc.History (NI, Ire)
173: PBS America
174: Animal Planet (NI, Ire)
175: Travelxp
176: Court TV
177: Vacant - That's TV 2 (UK)
178: Rewind TV (UK)
179: Vacant - Thats20Century (UK)
180: BBCScotlandHD (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)

Boomerang HD closing down for SkyQ Customers only, Sky Glass and Stream Customers as well as people who use Virgin Media still get the channel (in Virgin's Case, it's the only one they have after closing down the SD Version and replacing it with HD)

 

its slot on 603 for SkyQ be replaced by Boomerang SD which came from 641

lost channels

Any idea why some channels have been removed  like 181/182 with the old programmes on 

Have   they changed channels or no longer available on sky 

Someone mentioned it us something to do with sky wanting people to change to sky glass   and all channels are available there but not on sky q  i think that's what we have 

 If thats the case I feel it's unfair considering  we pay well over £150  a month for all the channels  as we have the film and all the spurts channels

hi @enaj 

 

I have moved your post onto this discussion that details when the channels closed and discussions around them

 

Please see @TimmyBGood 's post and beyond with background to this - note the decisions are by the channel owners and not SKY's 

That's TV info

None of Thats TV channels have ever been on Sky Glass/Stream , Cost saving by the broadcaster, both That's TV 2 and That's 20th Century were removed from Virgin aswell
