Spotted it today, out of my window in Edinburgh.
Think it's sommit to do with the annual Television Festival that's happening in town.

I've had ABC1 since it started and I've yet to see anything on it vaguely any good. Can't really see what all the fuss is about

Could Sky have not put ABC1 on a more higher up EPG since, IMO, it is a major new channel to launch. I personally would have put it in the EPG slot of 137-138 since Real Time aren't going to launch any more channels with a +1 and extra service.

I suppose Sky can't be seen to be favouring any particular channel with regards to EPG positioning if they're all paying the same for their EPG number. Agreed though, it is annoying when major channels like E4, FX and now ABC1 are bundled along with cheapo channels like Life TV and BEN.

At least when the major EPG restructure happens later this year, lifestyle channels and the dire gaming channels will be separated from general entertainment.

Oh dear. That is a little low-budget.

Yep, the MGEITF is in town this weekend - although I guess it's probably a little hard to notice in amongst the melee of other festivals.
