I doubt that's true. Pretty sure we will keep it

Are you getting confused with Sky Livingit HD?

Guardian: Jeremy Hunt unveils plan for new national television channel.

The culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, will today unveil plans for a new national television channel to help deliver his ambition for a network of local TV services.

Hunt will also investigate whether "must carry" obligations on BSkyB and Virgin Media are an "appropriate" measure to ensure the widest reach possible for the new channel.

Media Boy: Look like Virgin Media will need to move BBC 3 then...

I`ve never stopped calling it channel 5,don`t know about anyone else?

[RichardCoulter]

I've always called it "Channel 5".

Sorry must have missed that, when did Channel 5 stopped being called Channel 5!!! Have always called it that, I must have been in a time warp!

Here is more on Channel 5 rebranding over the years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_5_(UK)#Branding

Channel 5 logo looks very American-like if you get where I'm coming from?
Looks pretty good though!

Oh, I've just noticed that with the Filmflex previews, in replacement of the "500 films at your fingertips" (was very annoying), there is now a new clip that says
"Sorry this channel is currently having difficulties", followed by the advertisement of the OD services.
I must say, this is pretty good and is less annoying than the Filmflex clip it had before.

Thanks for the update.

Ah well we lost:

Bravo
Bravo +1
Bravo 2
Bravo On Demand
Challenge Jackpot

from 1st Feb we will also lose:
ChannelOne
ChannelOne +1
ChannelOne On Demand

and we only have ITV1 +1 as a replacement. I think i can see people moving to Sky. And also getting left out of all the Sky channels plus HD we havent got.

I feel like getting Freesat+HD on my 19th birthday because I wont be able to keep paying for Virgin Media especially with the loss of channels. Plus there are alot of channels on Freesat that Virgin Media has NOT got which is shocking with it being the number one cable TV platform.

I just wish Sky could have a heart for once and that we ARE ALL HUMAN no matter what provider we are with and give everyone the channels because we only live once.

Loss of channels and loss of content are different things.

It has been posted before that the expectation is for the popular programmes to be moved to Sky 2 and Sky 3, what may be lost is endless repeats of rubbish hardly anybody watches anyway.

So you may well not be losing programmes, just fewer channels carrying the most popular ones.

That said, getting Sky Atlantic (SD would be enough for content access) and Sky1+1 and Sky OD would be good replacements
