Looks like they are trying to get the channel back on the air. We are getting audio of their programming and commercials but no video!

So, it's become a radio station now?

At this point, they might as well admit defeat and close down service before they get sued for nonpayment....again.

You can still tune in manually (11479 V, 22Msym/s, 5/6, DVB-S). It appears to be a graphic in an Arise News style, with a logo - rather than a generic slate produced by an uplink provider (which Arqiva have been known to do when people don't pay the bills.)

Either way, I think Sky take a bit of a dim view of people not broadcasting programme content, and don't hang around when it comes to removing them from the EPG.

Took Sky around a week to pull the channel!

Possibly more to do with Arise not paying Sky for the EPG fee, so no fee = no slot.

Not cheap either according to this:

What on earth, shambles of a channel.

You do have to wonder, where they get the money to suddenly re-appear from every time, and why they can't maintain a regular flow of it.

You also have to wonder who keeps renting them studio space, and accepting job offers from them.

There's an item about Arise and its many creditors in the latest Private Eye

Rumour is it is cash in hand.

And that just about sums them up. Baffles me how this keeps rising from the ashes.
