So what happens to Sky Sports Mix?

For the benefit of the doubt, Sky Sports Mix is indeed moving to EPG 121 on Sky.

Replacing Sky Arts HD then. Where would Arts HD go?

"New and existing customers can now enjoy Sky Sports from £18 extra a month

Choose one channel for £18, two for £22, three for £26 - or get it all, plus our brand new Main Event channel for only £27.50 extra a month"

So the default status quo for existing customers is where they already are and you can downgrade, though that's typical whenever the offerings are revised.

Be interesting to see how this pans out on NowTV, or is it more likely that will continue to be one pass for everything? Still cheaper than Sky though, £33.99 a month for sports alone as I presume you'd still need the basic package to get Sports, so that's still £40 a month.

122 I'd assume.

122 is taken up by Sky Living +1.

Exactly, there may be a knock on effect with some of their other plus 1 channels.

I can foresee that happening. With each reshuffle on the Entertainment section with regards to Sky’s channels, the +1 channels and Sky2 are pushed down the guide. It’s happened numerous times in the past.

Confimed that a full rebrand has been announced and that Sky and Normad have been behind it.

According to the article... "Sky Sports Main Event channel hosting the biggest events in one place" ...I wonder whether is means that channel will effectively replace the (Sky Sport) box office.


It appears from reading that to be a channel that simulcasts the biggest live events from all of the other channels, available only to people who have all those channels anyway. Presumably for those who just stick it on 401 and can't be bothered to scroll up the EPG.

I'm not sure I get it. Does 'Main Event' have any of it's own content or is it all simulcasts from the rest of the channels ?

Surely 'Premier League' will be used to show other types of football as well as there must be occasions where football matches run simultaneously across the various leagues or competitions that Sky broadcast.

From what I can see nothing has been mentioned whether HD will remain as an extra charge.

Is the SSNHQ getting a graphics revamp as well?
