I think the EPG may be wrong - as the caption being carried on satellite says the service launches at 7pm on 3rd November.

We need the courts to resolve this issue about rights. It's certainly not fair that one rich programme provider can buy up all the decent American programmes on an exclusive basis and then not even offer the channels to other operators. How is that good for the consumer? I'm spitting blood tonight having read this, I can tell you.
