My equipment is set up to view 4:3 content in the original aspect ratio. So I get the pillar box version on SD anyway, the enforced 4:3 ratio pillar box image of full scan HD is just a bonus.

Due to a fault with Sky, Babestation (and other similar channels not on VM) were off air on Sky and Freeview.

Did anyone notice it being off on VM too; whilst channel hopping of course
Apparently, the Freeview versions of Babestation carried video slates stating that the channels were unavailable, replaced by the standard MHEG slates outside of their usual hours. Babestation on VM carried the Oops! etc video slate. Studio 66 was also unavailable on Freeview. Maybe someone forgot to pay the electricity bill.

Apparently not the first time that the Babestation channels have been off-air recently with a "fault".
