It is just ridiculous about how Sky is promoting it. Why can't they just show the launch program on Sky Atlantic only instead of across the whole network of channels. Rolling Eyes At least Sky has finally giving the ability to use their broadband outside of the home on the go. Laughing

This must be a record for a UK TV simulcast (excluding BBC1 and ITV of course).

No, I belive that all available terrestrial channels were made available for the Diana-drivel-fest together at some point

What was this Diana-drivel-fest you speak of?

I believe the launch of what is now known as BBC One was shown on all available channels (terrestrial or not).

No, for Diana's funeral:
BBC One had their own coverage
BBC Two simulcasted with signing
ITV had coverage from ITN
Channel 4 showed Childrens programmes.

No idea about Channel 5 though. It wasn't the same programme by any means, otherwise you could say the record goes to Michael Jackson's funeral, or The Pope's funeral.

Except Sky Arts 2 and, bizarrely, Sky 3. If there was one channel I'd have thought they would simulcast on it'd be Sky 3.

They might not want freeview viewers to see as they can not get the channel

Erm...isn't that the point, to entice the viewers into buying a Sky box?

Band Aid 20's video was played at the same time on a heap of channels (I don't think it was just the five main ones) and a silence I think for July 7th was broadcast on the vast majority of channels with most either taking Sky News or BBC World (which was a simulcast with BBC One anyway).

The BBC's 2008 Olympic promo's first airing was simulcast on most of the BBC channels (excluding the children's channels).
