Also could someone please explain what business Star Trek Voyager has doing on Sky Atlantic*? It's neither a HBO production (Viacom/Paramount) nor is it particularly an example of "the best telly on Earth". Surely it would have been better to put it back on Sky1 where it belongs?

It's padding out some of the daytime schedule up to 6pm.

The primetime slots are all HBO programmes.


It's not an HBO channel, even in primetime. e.g. Blue Bloods is a CBS show and of course Mad Men is AMC.

Interestingly looks like Sky are going to align their showbiz website to the revamped Sky Living,

Not off to a tremendous start.

Not only do they have nobody's favourite trollop, hatchet faced old biffer Katie Price on the front page, but also a link to a quote from her soon to be ex-mug, Alex. "It's not nice to read the odds are on us being the first couple to split in 2011 - hopefully we'll prove them wrong."

"We hope so too, Alex.", says Suzannah Ramsdale writing the piece.

Out of date and grotty slebs.

Yuck.

It's a shame for Sky that Price was signed up when Living was a Virgin channel.

I note the 'culprit' Claudia Rozencranzt has now left the building.

There's a 2-minute Sky "Updates to Your Sky Guide" video on Anytime at the moment, explaining the changes to the Sky+HD channel changes. Also mentions a handout in the next Sky Guide with the new channel numbers.
From what I saw, all digital channels will be swapping with their HD counterparts, but no mention of where Sky2 and Sky3 are going.

A shame? Yes, such a shame that Living signed a celebrity that did a huge amount in boosting ITV2's viewing share... Confused

First ad for Sky Living can be seen here (although oddly it doesn't show the logo at the end),

http://tv.sky.com/sky-living

Presumably a dedicated website for Sky Living will launch soon.
