Personally I input the number and go directly to key channels , Sky Sports News being one of them so the EPG order is irrelevant to me.

I hope it gets a new slot in the upcoming EPG reshuffle otherwise it won't be getting many viewers in that position.

SKY results for the 12 months ended 30th June 2014

http://corporate.sky.com/documents/p...ss_release.pdf

An increase in numbers across all SKY products. Give SKY their due, they know how to up-sell and cross sell to their customer base. Slowly edging towards 11 million TV customers.

I'd say the most impressive figure is the amount of Sky+HD boxes now connected to BB , 3 million in the last year with nearly 5.7 million now connected representing over 50% of customers.

TruTV may not move in August.

As 'Showcase 3' has been rebrand as 'Info TV+1' and has also changed Sky EPG numbers, moving from 875 to 395.

Not really sure Den , it makes no mention of VM so if I was guessing I'd say it may not but I could be wrong.
