Why does the Launch date of Electronic Sofa Channels keep getting delayed

Does anyone know why the launch date of the Electronic Sofa Channel keeps getting delayed or will it never happen.

Because they (most likely) have very little money and cannot pay for the EPG, satellite space or content.

Yes that is highly unlikely at this present time.

Agree with you on that. They seem to be having problems getting stores like Argos,Dixons to stock their boxes for some reason. As far as I know only Maplin are selling them. Also,the PVR boxes aren`t out yet nor have they announced their pay tv services yet(apart from sky sports 1 and 2). A very shabby start and doesn`t fill me with confidence for the future.
