For some reason I always get a little bit of pleasure from seeing channels I like rise up the list in a quasi-survival-of-the-fittest kind of way :-) From memory, E4 will have gone from 205 to 163 to 140, with FX moving from 287 to 270 to 179... I'm a bit confused about what's happened to the Paramount channels and Sci-Fi though...?

(It and its cohorts are moving ABOVE E4!). Or shopping and religious channels like YouTV and BEN somehow breaking out of their shopping and religious sections, and gatecrashing on the "mainstream" section (they are moving to 146&148) From memory, E4 will have gone from 205 to 163 to 140, with FX moving from 287 to 270 to 179... I'm a bit confused about what's happened to the Paramount channels and Sci-Fi though...? ParCom, +1, 2, Sci-fi are moving from the range 127-130 all the way up to 126-129. Does this mean that the "blocks of three" are being done away with? We currently have (if you read this in time): 106 Sky One, Two, Three 109 UKTV Gold, +1, 2 112 Living TV, +1, 2 115 BBC THREE, BBC FOUR, free 118 ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 121 Challenge, +1, free 124 Bravo, +1, free 127 Paramount, +1, 2 130 Sci-Fi, free, free If channel providers are now seemingly no longer guaranteed three in a row, why not have a wider-ranging revamp, and reunite UKTV Gold 2, Living TV 2 etc. with their +1 version? Why leave 123 empty? Charlie -- Remove NO-SPOO-PLEASE from my email address to reply Please send no unsolicited email or foodstuffs |

It would be nice if you could hide categories you're not interested in. :) It would be even better to allow viewers to remove whole channels from their EPG. :) -- Martin Jay |

Yes, the guide download with the new EPG numbers was available from midnight last night; TiVo owners will get the automatically generated message with a huge amount of channel movements and the deletion of the radio channels on the next automatic dialup after then.

If they're in the entertainment section then the majority of their broadcasts MUST be entertainment, and not (for example) religion, gambling, "specialist", etc. That's how Game Network found itself in the Adult section. Maybe those channels are changing their ways? |
