Are they likely to use the channel space for something else?

According to AGB Nielsen, the new Discovery Science +1 will be using the former Discovery Channel +1.5 space as from tomorrow.

It was the old Rapture channel space, I assume Discovery bought it up and used it to save the space and get an EPG space.

This label has been around for at least the last five years.
It is a "feed" for the American CNN Radio Network of stations
and any other station that wants to take it
so no point in listing it as testing, as it clearly is not..
So this time sorry no credit.

However,

If you find a new label, they are usually put up on a Tuesday or Friday
but there have been other days you will indeed get your credit
or I could just put you in the contributors list at the bottom of the page like everyone else.
Anyhoo! you'll need to be quick and find those labels
as there are quite a few really good label spotters See here from a few weeks back

astra19E · 06-04-2008, 17:46

I think IMF: International Music Feed is unlikely to launch as it has shut down in the USA.

55300 is showing a "Five" subscription message, why?

Because it is encrypted so you can not watch it.

It has the 'five' message because '55300' is the fifth entry in you 'extra channels'. 'five' is fifth entry in EPG.

If you made it the first entry in your 'extra channels' it would have a BBC1 subscription message - BBC1 is 1st entry in EPG.

Rush HD launches tomorrow according to here.

Good to know. I would never claim to be a fan of action or extreme sports, but having watched the tests for Rush HD on and off over the past few weeks, I'm actually looking forward to the arrival of the channel. There are some really interesting programmes, not to mention the scenery featured in many programmes looks stunning in HD.

Biz Asia: '9X' UK launch imminent

http://media247.co.uk/bizasia/newsar...sive_9x_uk.php

"The broadcaster has been locked in talks with one particular channel about a Sky Digital EPG buyout for the past few months."

Perhaps the channel will be taking over the DD-News slot?

Sky Fan · 07-04-2008, 09:08

Channel 6 Ireland is broadcasting at the moment on Max TV on channel 666.

Now Max TV is back.

55355 renamed to Rush HD and added to 452 on the EPG.

Scalper Jack · 07-04-2008, 09:56

Is Rush HD FTA or part of HD subscription?

D. Sky D. · 07-04-2008, 10:00

The following Sky EPG changes have taken place :-

Discovery Science has moved from 535 to 524
Discovery Animal Planet has moved from 524 to 525
Discovery Animal Planet +1 has moved from 525 to 535

SKYtvFREAK · 07-04-2008, 10:04

I notice Discovery+1.5 is still here.....

The Unknown One · 07-04-2008, 10:05

^^

Looking at the programmes listed on the EPG for Discovery +1.5, they are still shadowing the main Discovery Channel, rather than Discovery Science, so it isn't a simple case of changing the DOG and name on the EPG. Maybe it's been delayed?

D. Sky D. · 07-04-2008, 10:08

Ape TV has been added to 196 in the EPG.

GrahamBCFC · 07-04-2008, 10:11

ParaComedy2 + has moved from 200 to 160
MTV R has moved from 201 to 161

Open Access 2 has moved from 160 to 200
OPen Access 3 has moved from 161 to 201

The Unknown One · 07-04-2008, 10:23

That was kept quiet. I reckon this has to join Trade TV on the list as one of this threads very rare failures.

have to agree with you there The Unknown One.

Oh, can I just ask, whats the subscription status of Rush HD please?

The Unknown One · 07-04-2008, 10:42

Removing the viewing card when watching Rush HD prompts you to re-insert the card so it's at least FTV. It's definitely not premium, so it's either free but requires a viewing card (like Channel 4 HD), or it's part of the £10 HD subscription.
