Not sure yet if this is a whole channel or just a programming slot on channel5 but source seems to think it will replace 5+24.
If this comes off, 5+24 didn't last long! Don't know what it's ratings are like.

At least we know it's not a red button channel, like SKY Sports Xtra, and will be broadcast in HD.
I don't see any reason why they can't just launch it on the EPG as normal without customers having to register. Maybe the reason is psychological marketing in that Sky hope that people will believe that they are getting something for nothing and it will also draw more attention to the channel

Been told by a VM contact that Netflix have informed them that, by the end of 2014, 100% of their material will be subtitled. This follows pressure from the deaf community who complained that, in their case, as technology moved on, they were going backwards with the omission of subtitles.

I applaud Netflix for responding so positively, after all, why should those with hearing difficulties be denied access to their service
