    Just messing around with my VU DUO and I am able to see Watch on channel 50880 (Sunday 23rd June 2pm). I can confirm that this channel requires the FTV card. Does this mean Watch may be added to the other FTV channels available (Sony, Channel 5 HD etc) ?

    I doubt it will be going FTV, I read recently Sky are planning on doing away with FTV cards and channels that are FTV are going to either go full subscription or go FTA.

    I imagine this is just a test for a transponder move and just hasn't been encrypted yet. the UKTV channels could do with some FTA offerings though for Freesat. If they do, I doubt it will be Watch they'll do it with.
