Well if you did then you would be wasting your money as it is SKY who owned that channel and who have also closed that channel because as of 6am this morning SKY stopped broadcasting Channel One.

Re: Channel 20 - Virgin1

You mean channel 1 as it was last called. Sky closed down the channel on all platforms, subscribing to Sky will not give you access to it.

Yup, me TOO ... but, if the channel has "closed", why is it
still broadcasting a "signal" ... does that mean something will
be coming back on that channel, (as in Pick.Tv on channel 11,
Freeview ?!?), which was formerly sky 3 ... or summat ?!?...


... I mean, normally when channels CLOSE, for GOOD, they just
vanish, not continue broadcasting a Black Screen, no ? ? ? ...

Re: Channel 20 - Virgin1

There is no signal on that channel. The capacity on Mux A is now used by Challenge (Ch46) . The EPG slot will still exist for a short while, and will then be wiped out by the next receiver "re-tune".

Pick TV was a rebrand of Sky 3, not a closure.
