I notice that Fashion TV on Sky (261) is not currently broadcasting. The EPG says 'This is Fashion TV' or 'Fashion TV' until 6am on Tuesday when normal programmes seem to resume. They appear to still be broadcasting online, http://www.ftv.com/fashion/page.php?P=4274. Anyone ideas why they would disappear from Sky like this? I thought if anything, their next move would be to launch their HD channel on to the Sky EPG. Maybe that is what is happen. Maybe they are coming back at 6am on Tuesday in HD.

While on the subject, how does this channel make any money? Although the whole thing could be seen as one big advert, do they actually get paid by the designers and companies they feature? Are they regulated by Ofcom? They seem quite happy to broadcast sweary song lyrics at all times of the day.

ISTR they had a bit of a fall-out with Sky a while back over the cost of their EPG slot, which resulted in the channel being removed for quite a while, although it was still available via 'Add Channels'. I don't know if there's any connection.
