Guest Channels

Could someone tell me what the April guest channel is going to be? If there is any further information on guest channels in May, June, etc then that would be very helpful too.

Cheers :)

Re: Guest Channels

Where do you find the 2nd and 3rd guest channels? Blue remote (langly bbc 101) world. The first is on 106ish, but where are the rest.

They are on their specific channel numbers.

Re: Guest Channels

So the base pack has certain specific other channels unlocked each month? Is that how guest channels work now?

Re: Guest Channels

Yes,

One of the channels is shown on 106 and it's own specific channel. The other two are shown on their own channels.

I do not really see the point in having 106 anymore. It would be better for it to be a simple broadcast message saying what channels are guest this and next month and what their channel numbers are.

Re: Guest Channels

Good Idea.

Do you ever get guest channels that are not in the family pack?

...which, paradoxically, would actually use more bandwidth than the way it's done at the moment!

if you mean the premium channels...?!? they tend to do 'freeviews' like SET Asia is at the moment. Guest channels are in the family pack from my experience.

Re: Guest Channels

The Guest Channels are listed on the Cable Forum homepage, even though it says they are the Guest Channels for March, but they are actually the Guest Channels for April. The three Guest Channels for April are:

Smash Hits, Toonami and Sci-Fi

Re: Guest Channels

If you go to this forums home page the guest channels are shown in the bottom right hand corner. It would help if channel numbers were also shown.

All times are GMT. The time now is 18:50.
