FX launches soon

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds18369.html

Wonder if they still use the FX287 name or it's just plain old FX now.

Rather you than me having sky. I would never get sky for the rest of my life again, I am always going to livei n CATV areas. lol. Those ripoff money grabbing 1/2 witted cheap piles of crap are not getting another penny of my money (directly off me, I know ntl have to pay them a little).

Well up until last weeks in TV & Sat Week it was FX287, but now its just FX - maybe for this reason?

I followed the link to their website in Sir_ Drinks_ ALot's post. Their logo says FX289. :confused:

Re: [merged] FX launches soon

Great news. There's been a few shows on there which I thought might have been worth watching, but missed them. :)

Re: [merged] FX launches soon

Just had this in an email from FX:

Quote:

Wednesday 12th January 2005 saw FX289 celebrating its first Birthday!

What a present we received, after a year of negotiations we will be launching on the UK cable operator NTL on Thursday 24th February 2005. Tell your friends!

Please note that this is not official confirmation from ntl, but I would think FX should know what date they're launching on a platform! The email doesn't mention a channel number.

Re: [merged] FX launches soon

I've seen a couple of trailers for new programs on FX"whatever channel number" and it says along the bottom of the screen "Exclusive to SkyDigital" followed by "Coming soon to ntl"

Re: [merged] FX launches soon

Not that I know the date, but don't NTL usually launch new services on a Tuesday?

Re: FX channel

i work for ntl in manchester but i have been on my hols since the launch was announced so i wasn't sure if it was available in all areas at the moment, i've got racing uk and my stb has been updated...just no FX! my stb is driving me mad today some of my usual channels are coming up as not subscribed and i can view some i'm not subscribed to oh and the channels are mixed up e.g i select iUKTV Gold and ceebeebies is on the channel and i select ceebeebies and it says i'm not subscribed and i have 6 channel zero's with front row on! i've never recieved a call of this nature before!?

Re: FX channel

Aah, if the other channel numbers are being screwy as well and a reboot doesn't do the trick, you'll have to call CS - Sorry! :)

Re: FX channel

I've got it in snowy East Anglia! (although the other night, after NYPD Blue, the box went screwy we got a funny channel broadcasting some numbers and a repetitive "3, audio 4" or words to that effect! A call to CS is due methinks.....)
