Yes and l think it important as l found out myself to haggle over any potential deal as it does pay off and in many many cases they will give you more bang for your buck.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Two new comedies are headed to Sky Living HD, Gates and The Spa.
Quote:
The 5x30-minute comedy Gates stars Sue Johnston (The Royal Family), Tom Ellis (Miranda), Joanna Page (Gavin and Stacey) and Adam Deacon (Kidulthood). Ellis and Page play parents who moved to the South East, where their 9-year-old daughter is starting school. They soon discover what happens when your children choose your friends

Quote:
The Spa is written by Derren Litten (Benidorm, The Catherine Tate Show). The comedy is set in a Hertfordshire spa that claims it can cure anyone—the fat, the thin, the lazy—but the truth is quite to the contrary.

It's not 100% known yet , it's linked to the new EPG which several of us on here are currently testing I'm led to believe , think they mentioned towards the end of the year.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Cheers MM, It would make sense to have separate listings for the 2D and 3D version of the films. I notice that they already do this for some films like Toy Story.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Ofcom: Sky's Local TV proposals, Virgin Media and Freesat respond: Updated
Quote:
Discussions between Ofcom and Sky have taken place over where the proposed new Local TV stations will appear on the broadcaster’s EPG.
Currently, it’s proposed that Freeview Channel 8 will be the new home for local TV, bumping ITV2 off to elsewhere in the programme guide. Naturally you’d assume that Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, whose guides begin with 101 for BBC One, would follow suit placing Local TV on Channel 108.
This however doesn’t look to be the case. Sky’s own flagship channel Sky1 occupies position 106 on the EPG. This is followed by Sky Living and Sky Atlantic, the latter of which would be relegated to page two of the guide. Sky Atlantic is home to HBO-owned shows such as Broadwalk Empire and Game of Thrones which Sky has aggressively promoted; moving any of these channels off of the front page will undoubtedly mean a ratings drop.

Sky to air French Open live in 3D
Quote:
Sky has confirmed plans to offer 3D coverage of the French Open this year, as part of a summer of sport on the Sky 3D channel. Live 3D coverage of the key action from Roland Garros in Paris will be shown on Sky 3D later this month, under a collaboration deal between Sky and Eurosport.
Sky 3D will broadcast Eurosport's live 3D feed from Centre Court at Roland Garros from May 28 to June 10. This is the third consecutive year that Eurosport has covered the French Open in 3D, but the first time that the feed has been made available live to UK homes.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Anyone noticed on the latest My Sky Week email it says Discover more : Hell on Wheels it says Sunday 9pm TCM/HD 317 , not sure if it's a mistake or not as we currently dont have the HD variant despite it being announced last year. Probably just an error.
