Hi @MaccyD221 

 

I've just updated the NFL change as we've been informed that it is changing tomorrow - thanks for questioning it!

 

  • Sky Sports Action (Satellite 408/865 – Sky Glass/Stream 408) rebrands to SkySp NFL/SkySp NFL HD (temporary change)
Thanks

Like a question better aimed at the owners of the channel, whose contact details should be available on their website (http://www.thats.tv/contact/)

  • ​Sky Hits (Satellite 303 - Sky Glass/Stream 303) changes name to SkyBatmanDay/BatmanDay HD (temporary change)

Sunday 22nd September 2024

 

  • ​Sky Batman Day (Satellite 303 - Glass/Stream 303) changes name to ​Sky Hits / Sky Hits HD (reverting from temporary change)

Guess debuting 'The Penguin' on Sky Atlantic was a taster to a day of Batman movies on one of the Sky Cinema channels.

I sent an email to That's TV with the following suggestion .....

 

I think you should group your 3 channels on Sky as follows ...
191 - Thats TV 1
192 - Thats TV 2
193 - Thats TV 3

> They will really stand out in the EPG.
> They will be easy to remember.
> Losing your higher 171 single slot is really no loss at all.

 

What you think?


Sky "rents" out an EPG space to a provider. That's TV have rented out channels 171, 188 and 191 in the UK. If That's TV expieriences a failure (e.g.) on That's TV 1 and colour bars are shown, Sky will automatically remove the channel, but to prevent another provider "snapping up" channel 171, That's TV 1 has a certain amount of time to return to channel 171 before it's released. 

I would also assume that this is why channel 173 is currently not being used, as BBC have possesion of it (since BBC Three relaunched in January 2021 when BBC Three was broadcast on 173 in London before moving.).

That's TV changed it. You'll need to talk to them about it:
