This press the coloured button to access the HD version of a channel is rubbish too. The HD version should the be the default now and the SD variants get pushed out of the way.

We have posted our version of that new EPG on Media Boy Blog.

When Digital Cable started in my area - Telewest April 1999. They did allow you to do that (Sky One was on Channel 6 - with new channels being at the end of the EPG. One night we get 5 TV and Telewest started broadcasting 15 Radio Channels as well.

But Telewest drop that idea for On Demand.

Ofcom news update.

All channels own by Sony has been transferred to a new company who is now the legal licensee. The licensee is called Columbia Pictures Corporation Limited.

Also Turner Broadcasting System Europe Limited has been given an new Licence to launch an channel called "Ben 10".

I don't think that works?

Can you not do this on SkyQ?

I thought they still appeared in numerical order, irrespective of which order you added them in - but I will give it a go.

As I thought - absolute rubbish, whatever order you add them in they appear in numeric order as I thought.

....agree. I could re-arrange both the position of channels and their location on the Freeview EPG even on the first generation of Freeview stbs that I used to own, yet you still cannot do this on cable.

Ah, interesting.

As it goes, I was doing a bit of research into media related things last night and I was searching for Sony TV which game me Sony TV. The televisions made by Sony. I was half asleep and I should've searched for Sony Pictures.

I think the name change makes a lot of sense, as using the same brand for different things is a bad idea in my opinion and the Columbia brand is a well recognised one.

Part of me (the old part) wishes they used Screen Gems

Yeah almost everything electronic in this house is made by Sony from TVs to phones, Tablets / playstations etc etc.

I only noticed like a couple weeks back that there is so many Sony based network(s) on the actual cable spectrum across the world that it left me stunned. Kind of cool that a few of them were fashion based.

Out of interest do those awful Asian / India based networks like Sony TV all fall under that or is that just co-incidental on the naming?

Yes on Sky Q you can list all your channels in the favourites section of the tv guide in any order you choose.

The Sony Asian channels licensee is called Multi Screen Media (Sony Pictures Television).

Can someone with Sky Cinema confirmed what the channel name is for Virgin Channel 411.

Our EPG says "Sky Select" but information online says that Sky Select is called Sky Classics until early July 2018.

Thanks for any help.

SkyQ must have added favourites then, I am sure they were not available initially as it upset many customers.

It was added a while back.

It was 1 of a number of sky features that went missing with skyq (due to the absurd decision not to base skyq on existing skydive features).

I left because of the features I liked going missing.

I wish that there was some way that I could get them to move it back to a standalone package...grrrrrr. (This way it just lumps in with all the main package and kicks the price up, for everyone who uses Sky to begin with!)

Is it premium or bundled on Virgin?

[esdxc37]

premium for the majority but there are a couple included in bundles.
