The Sci Fi Channel has inked a deal for carriage with triple-play provider Homechoice.

The station is the latest addition in the operator's plans to "significantly" expand the number of channels in its lineup.

"We're delighted to be offering the Sci Fi channel's thrilling mix of blockbuster films and big name programming to our customers for the first time," said Jonathan Sykes, MD of content strategy at Homechoice. "The channel will sit alongside Homechoice's already excellent lineup of broadcast, own branded and general video-on-demand channels, extending the breadth and range of content even further."

Sci Fi launches as part of Homechoice's Big Pack on channel 22 from Monday (November 14).
