Anyone know where the X Files will show in Jan!, early i know, but very pleased it's back. Originally on Sky One, may FOX this time?.

Disappointingly, a new series of The Americans is due to start on ITV Encore next week, so the first year of repeats on this channel must be coming to an end.

I was hopeful that at the end of the exclusivity period with Sky, Virgin would gain access to this channel. However, I've not heard anything - is anyone aware of indications that this channel will be coming to cable soon?

Just as well I have my Roku, so I won't miss out, but this will be a frustrating time for those with VM only who have followed series one and two on ITV1.

I could never understood why ITV bought it for ITV1; completely the wrong fit, so not surprising that viewing figures were low. ITV Encore is a better fit, and being a pay TV channel, they don't need as big an audience. I still think it would have been a good fit for BBC2, then everyone could continue to see it.

Iniitial rumours said it was exclusive to Sky for 18 months. This would give the earliest launch on other platforms as 8 December but I don't think the 18-month period was never officially confirmed. It launched on Sky on 8 June 2014.

l have a feeling it could be like Sky Atlantic in that we are highly unlikely to get it.

The SD version of ITV Wales is not available nationally on VM, so I doubt the HD one will be either. Only BBC1 Wales & S4C are available nationally.
