Pick UK HD

Is anybody else having issues getting 5829 on Freesat?

Also worth noting that Sky Sports are calling it "Sky Pick" (but they also call Sky One, Sky 1, so...). So is this Freeview help page.

Makes sense, Pick will be showing Sky Sports games so to avoid confusion with the word "pick" in press releases it would make sense to rebrand it as Sky Pick. Bit odd then that Sky Sports article first mentions it as the "free-to-air Pick channel" and then a few scrolls later calls it Sky Pick? Was that article made in the process of that rebrand?

The newspapers were calling it Sky Pick when the story was announced. Not surprised it’s now getting that name officially. Hopefully it means the DOG moves to a better position or better still, behaves like the others and fades off after a few seconds at the start and after breaks.

Wonder after all the football is over will they return it to just being Pick and remove the HD channel? Seems a waste of effort if they did.

I was about to make a related point that hopefully, given all the effort that's being put into the channel at the moment, Sky will start to value Pick / Sky Pick a bit more. Sky has a huge library of shows that are no longer running on their subscription channels, but would be a welcome addition to Pick / Sky Pick and would likely give the channel a boost.

I am not sure if this is from VM UK or Ireland's EPG.

That’s the UK EPG, because NVTV only broadcasts in Northern Ireland.

Would that leave Challenge as their only non-Sky branded channel?

Ads for the football on Pick state the matches will not be shown on Pick Ireland so that has to be NI. NVTV is also a giveaway.

To also think that Pick was the original Sky Three in its heyday to go to Pick and then to be rebranded back under Sky as Sky Pick

I think Pick has changed alot since its Sky 3 days it has vastly improved, just a pity that Futurama is never aired on there (as it did as Sky 3) but I liked watching The Force North East -- it is good that if you like football there is sport on it, I wonder if this was a success other sport may get a look in on the channel?, use Pick as FTA Sky Sports Mix channel -- when I say this I just mean sport on it every now and again?

To accomodate the version of Pick HD on 12363, the bitrates of Comedy Central HD, Nickelodeon HD, STV (East) HD, alibi HD, Nat Geo HD, Gold HD and DisneyXD HD have been cut.
