CH4 pay a fee to ASTRA who own the satellite and then the channel gets uplinked to the satellite and the only involvement with Sky is the broadcaster has to pay SKY a fee to appear on their EPG.

Ive heard we arent getting Arsenal TV anymore, because Setanta have removed it from their list of channels, or something?

Either that, or we get it AFTER Sky do...

accoreing to setenta website we dnt have racing uk but we do it probally a error on setenta site, setenta themself said it was comign to virign media when the channesl was annouced would be weird to pull it now, considering virign media nad setenta are owrkign together

Cheers.

I got the UKTV info on the wotsat web site: http://blog.wotsat.com/page/whatsat?...nels_widen_out

TNA iMPACT! Moving from Bravo 2 to Bravo as of 5th Jan 2008.

What that means for Bravo's current Sat. 9pm-11pm Programming remains to be seen, but I see this move as a Ratings issue.

Basically, Bravo2 is for the lower rated shows. TNA is higher rated than the rest of the Bravo2 line up, and also, when it comes to renegotiations for Sky to have Bravo and all that, it will make for a more solid offer.

Here is more info: TNA Moving...

I am really looking forward to 2008 but I really want scuzz was so happy when NTL had as telewest didnt but they dropped the channel well annoyed o well might get it back but the main thing I want vm to do it VIRGIN MEDIA MOVIES

[grabbi]

Scuzz told me that Virgin had basically shut the door on Scuzz ever coming back to Virgin Media, simply because they are that high on their own Music On Demand service, which is sub-par to Rock fans.

Dont expect Scuzz anytime soon, unless we hear of another takeover, in which case, Id bet we say Scuzz and Sky channels back.

But with the credit crunch globally, the takeover wont come soon either.
