    UPC have said there are more coming but given no details. So far we have gotten BuzzTV (not a channel IMO) and Paramount +1 (good but I'd prefer a new channel to a +1). Hopefully there'll be some decent stuff added soon.

    I was only thinking the very same after just reading an article on digitalspy about the new Virgin EPG numbers for skys returning channels. Virgin Cable have managed to secure Sky 3, Sky Real Lives (+1) and Sky Arts 1 and 2. Granted, alot of repeats there, but it's still more SKY channels which UPC don't carry. I notice Sky News pushing FX recently, I wouldn't mind that or the remainder of the Virgin Channels (Challenge) or the UKTV ones including watch and style.

    Not to thread jack, but is there any word on the roll out of DVR boxes to more areas? Such as North Tipperary?

    Since the Performance channel was replaced by the Emerson, Lake and Palmer Channel (Sorry, Rock On TV) there is a gap now for a proper Arts channel. Sky Arts would seem to be the most appropriate option.

    Most definitely, and Sky Arts has really improved in the last two years, esp with the spin off Sky Arts 2. It is a genre not covered, and a perfect for the 500's in the EPG (moving Bravo into entertainment 100's).
