In vision yes but not in audio (go back a couple of pages, I took a picture).

According to Wikipedia, Sky 3 will move to 152 and Sky 3 +1 to 153, but the references cited don't actually give this information.


Edit: the full EPG list for the entertainment section is here

Sorry but what a total mess, everythings all over the place now! Well done Sky!

I'm surprised that SyFy and, in particular, the Universal channel is being given so much prominence on the EPG considering neither of them are particularly high profile compared to what's around that EPG area now.

Sold and swapped....

SyFy and Universal are both owned by NBCU, who obviously reached a deal for the improved EPG places. MTV and Comedy Central are owned by Viacom (previous major shareholders in NBCU), who were perhaps in on the discussions before the company changed hands/reorganised last week.

This looks like a deal which was initially with one company to allow a swap/exchange/purchase of better EPG positions.

With the SD/HD swap for HD subscibers, and the closure of some Living Group channels, Sky don't need to retain so many high positions on the entertainment EPG. It's common sense for them to sell the surplus ones to other broadcasters.

There was a post-watershed promo for Boardwalk Empire on Sky Sports last night.

Just about every time Carry On Camping is shown on just about any channel that has shown it they use the clip of Barbara Windsor's bra flying off to briefly reveal a nipple.

Further to the forums falling over earlier this month, http://www.challenge.co.uk/ has now been replaced with a blank page. It'd be surprised if anything replaces it other than perhaps a redirect to Sky.

EDIT: all seems a bit of a missed opportunity, they could create websites for PickTV and Challenge which really push Sky.

http://www.challengejackpot.com/ has gone as well.

Will the Challenge Jackpot slots on ITV1 continue?

Is it true that Challenge will be on channel 46 on Freeview? Also I would have thought sky may have done a spin of company. Like Pick TV, Challenge TV, Jackpot TV? Then again, no.
