    I saw the Coppa Italia listed on the EPG for 8pm and sat down to watch it but alas was greeted with a message.

    To be honest, it was not that bad. It had a rolling feed of sports headlines, showed live Brazilian and Italian soccer too.

    Pity, I enjoyed it.

    Doesn't sound like it was too bad so. Gone before I even gave it a chance. For shame.

    A few odd little gems popped up in it alright, like the time they showed Cyprus v Italy live in our World Cup qualifying group earlier this year.

    Oddly though the channel is closed, the ticker and sidebar remained working (on NTL at any rate) when I checked earlier today!

    I never really watched the channel. The odd time I did, it struck me as a cheap Sky Sports News / Setanta Sports News clone.

    Look at 274 and you'll see what black level is. Channel U was on black level all day.

    The playout system Channel U use seems to die at least once a week.
    Fizz (same owners) usually crashes at the same time too.
