Christmas Presentation - All Channels

Today I've beeen watching out for Christmas TV presentation across various channels on Sky Digital. So far today I've seen:

UKTV Food: normal pres.
G.O.L.D. - confused. The audio seemed to be kind of Christmassy, and there's fairy light bulbs around the G.O.L.D. logo.
Watch - again not sure.
Sky 1/2/3: street scene, with the blue 1 / green 2 / pink 3 morphing into a tree.
Sky Arts 2: is it really a Xmas ident?

So before I go any further, are the following channels doing Xmas pres or not? I've grouped them by broadcaster. N.B. this list is based on the Sky EPG as it stood Good Friday (that day I recorded it on VHS and typed it into a spreadsheet, then arranged it by broadcaster), so channels may have appeared or disappeared since. Here goes:

Any help would be most gratefully accepted. Would I be better waiting till tomorrow (Christmas Day) to spot any special idents / other presentation?

Stop it. Why don't you have a look yourself?

Goodness me. You expect everyone to go on all of those unheard of channels just to see if they've put a christmas tree up?

Who really cares?!

Well part of the problem is me not knowing the standard pres for all those channels. For example, what's being shown on G.O.L.D. now, is that Xmas pres or normal G.O.L.D.? I don't know the standard G.O.L.D. idents that were introduced in October (or thereabouts).

By the way, on Channel 4, I just saw the City (yellow taxi) ident before Deal or No Deal Christmas Star. Doesn't look like Channel 4 are doing Xmas idents (unless they'll have some tomorrow).

Has he really typed all that c r a p out himself??

LOL

It's Christmas, we have had a discussion on this. OK, there done!

Well what I meant was, can anyone tell me what channels simply aren't bothering with Xmas pres, so I don't waste valuable time watching out for Xmas idents on them. As already mentioned, I've just been watching out for Xmas idents on Channel 4, but just before Deal or No Deal Christmas Star, they just showed an ordinary ident, City (yellow taxi). Are Channel 4 not bothering with Xmas pres? What about their other channels (More 4, Film 4, E4)? Should I not bother watching out on those.

I want to know which channels to concentrate on and which ones to not waste my time with.

The only '4' channel with Christmas pres is 4Music.

Happy Christmas Mr Tumble

No such channel, just C4 itself upconverted to HD most of time, but with the occasional programme in HD.

HTH

I won't fault Mr. Tumble for saying that because I am sure it is his chemical make-up that makes him think things like that. But I better there 'sane' members of TVF who have thought the same at some point.

Meanwhile, you must have wasted nearly as much time with that extraordinarily long list of channels.
