    I think that once something is mentioned in the Sky mag it is definately going to happen. We need a BIG event to look forward to after all the Irish Channels came on Sky. Maybe they'll be on board by September...

    it says that about Sky+ but not UTV/Channel 4. it says
    From The Sky Customer Magazine
    we hope Channel 4 and UTV will join Sky's [Irish] service in the future

    no mention of a time frame for these channels to join our EPG

    I think the fact that its even mentioned in both backchat and the Sky magazine can only be a good thing, if it was something that was never gonna happen i dont think sky would bother printing the letter.

    I was wondering if there was some kind of connection between NTL and Chorus's sudden urge to advertise that they have UTV and C4 and the 'hint' from Sky that they might begin broadcasting these channels in the future.

    There may be a 'notice' clause in the contracts between these channels and NTL and Chorus to the effect that UTV and C4 need to advise them of an intention to resell their services to competing providers.

    So, NTL and Chorus are notified of UTV / C4's intentions to go on Sky in (say) 3 months, hence the aggressive marketing drive. It'll be all too late once Sky get them on board.

    Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part?

    Maybe it's just Sky trying to get more subs by saying these channels Might be coming onto the irish EPG? They know that this is what they need in order to get more subs from Ireland. Hope i'm just talking crap because i'd love to see them on Sky but we all know Sky!!!

    The problem with that though is that Sky are not saying these things where non-subscribers would see it ie. Sky mag, backchat and responses to emails from groups like this.
