GOD Channel
 
Hello, whilst surfing through my channels, I just realised the emergence of the God Channel on my channel line up. Previously, I was not subscribed to this channel, but now it is working.

Is there a free trial going on or something? Is it possible to add a channel to your line up just by messing around with the remote control, and not phoning customers services? My nephew might be the culprit.

Can anybody suggest another way in which the channel could have appeared?

I don't want to be paying £5 a month for a channel which doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Thats because Sky don't provide it, the channel itself has arranged carriage with one of the uplinkers who feed the Astra2/Eurobird1 orbital position.

Lots of people seem to forget its not Sky's satellite, they just rent space. Channels provided by ntl cable however are provided by ntl and ntl provide ALL of the infrastructure between the super headends and the customer, including the STB.

It is in the Sky EPG, as is GOD2, so it's not as if Sky subscribers are just picking it up because it is on a satellite that they are pointing at.

Nope, your absolutely right. Not only do Sky not have to pay for any of the kit involved in The God channel providing its services to people viewing the 28.2 degrees East position (its not Skys), but The God channel also have to pay Sky to be carried on their EPG.

You can of course get The God channel from this satellite position without a Sky reciever, just by pointing your dish at the satellite.
