Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

To be fair the writings on the wall , that article doesn't look positive for those wanting to see the channels remain.

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Well come the morning Sky viewer's will certainly know their fate.

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Or to get customers miffed with the loss of Discovery channels to contact Sky customer services and let them know how they felt

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Those still up will probably see them pulled at midnight; that's when Sky pulled their channels from VM as opposed to the end of the broadcasting day at 5:59:59.

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Anyone with Sky Q will know pressing the home button lands you on Top Picks , Sky now has a tile titled Umissable documentaries (not one Discovery Communications show listed) they are also repeatedly running an advert for the same content titled unmissable documentaries across all their own channels.

Anyone hopeful these channels will stay it's not looking good in my opinion.

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Indeed.

Also, we now know why Sky Sports Mix was created. If you look ahead in the EPG they are showing (repeats) of winter sports to try and emulate Eurosport ;)

This is the memo that Sky have been sending to dealers:

Who knows ?

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Well we will know quick enough whether it was sabre rattling by both sides or the start of something far more serious and more long term MM.

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

All on transfer deadline day :D

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Good grief you will be burning the midnight oil tonight then MM.;)

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)

That's it you've done it now mate, the VM fanboys will be throwing their cornflakes at the cat in rage that VM aren't getting Dmax as a exclusive now. :p:

Re: Sky Discovery (potential) switch-off (technical)
 

Maybe as a consolation prize, Discovery can rustle up DMAX +1 as a VM exclusive? :)

I actually think Sky keeping access to all these channels was important to them. If they hadn't, their base pack would have looked weak and VM could claim to have the better channel line-up. Pleased the situation has been resolved but hope it doesn't lead to more prices rises across all providers.
