Yeah a real pain. Just noticed it at the weekend when doing a new install
and the customer pointed it out. Not noticed anything from SkyTV about
changing them.

Has anyone seen any other recent changes to the channels?

I did think something was odd but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. This
was when I was watching Top Gear so it's been like that since at least
Sunday.

Yep, just noticed this myself yesterday. I've got stuff recorded
correctly from the 3rd, so it happened after that.

It caught me by surprise too. However, it was advertised in this
months SkyWatch. Doesn't help if - like me - you don't read their
propaganda magazine. The change occured on September 4th. I'm
surprised their weren't any on air announcements of the channel.

It's permanent and it was announced.

Was it announced anywhere other than in their own magazine?

Yes, I'd love to know if there is a official source for this sort of
thing other than SkyWatch. I cancelled my subscription to that a long
time ago...

No idea, I don't get their magazine, I don't have Sky. (Far more
interesting things to watch off Satellites than Sky, and it's all free!

There were no one air promos (at least on Prime) for the change.
Nothing in Sky's Media Release section. Don't recall seeing anything
on Sky's or Prime's website. For something that clearly was planned
weeks in advance, there was very poor notification.

At least the booked programs still worked correctly.

There wasn't a lot of publicity, but I knew about it back in mid July
and I don't even have Sky. I got it from someone else, I don't know
where he found out.

:D

My son was channel surfing the other day at 1630.

Got to MTV and found tits and bums all over the place including coverage of the
recent Auckland boobs on bikes. (I saw it too so he was not making it up)

Sky Digital is not subject to the same restrictions as free-to-air and
Sky UHF channels. They can get away with things the other channels
can't. The reasoning behind this is because the Digital STB has a
parental control feature.

Have just noticed this from Sky's website: "Effective 4 September
UKTV will be found on channel 6 and Prime TV on channel 4. This
change is to keep all Free to Air channels together on our Digital
Platform.".

However, that doesn't explain why C4 (32) and Maori TV (33) are all on
their own. I'm surprised they didn't move Maori as it separates MTV
from the other music channels. But then MTV doesn't show much music
these days does it? ;-)

Yes it is a little confusing, perhaps they don't consider C4 FTA :)

If that rather complicated URI doesn't work, go to 'Online help' on
their home page, and type 'prime uktv' in the search field.

C4 and Maori have some of the better programming IMO.
