    Wow apart from the odd random film I didnt realise Sony Channel was so bad, I might not even bother tuning it in tbh.

    It's terrible but Sony Crime will at least be starting out with a decent roster of dramas, trouble is these channels just churn the same handful over and over with only the occasional new title added. It's weird how the big named lesser channels - CBS, Sony are so poor, they have massive back catalogues but refuse to exploit them FTA.

    ITV4 is viewbale on the new Sky box by going into settings>manual tuning.

    You don't even have to enter codes , all the channels are already listed.

    It has C5 in HD , but no HD for ITV4.

    Anybody know a code for ITV4 HD?

    ITV4HD will not work in Ireland, even if manually tuned.

    Wales v Scotland on BBC One HD at the moment followed by France v Ireland. TV3 can keep it. Feel sorry for Saorview viewers with that horrible picture.

    If they wanted BBC they would have to get a satellite system, unless they could receive a terrestrial signal. Which is only possible in some areas in this country.

    If they have a satellite system, they won't be stuck with Saorview.

    and rather missing the point of TV3 etc being on available in a very shoddy SD in 2018

    Neither has it anything to do with new channels on the 28 East satellite, which this thread is about. There is plenty of discussion about it elsewhere on Boards.

    Has that changed? It used to work with an Irish HD subscription. ITV 2HD, 3HD AND 4HD on other channels?

    I do not have sky anymore so cannot check.

    Not really a new channel but Sony has rebranded to Sony Crime on Sky 157! For me the highlight will be nightly showings of Person of Interest!

    Yes, I agree. looks like it'll be free-to-view to Sky subscribers, but not FTA. They wouldn't be the first channel to mean FTV when talking free.

    It's where the 3 sport channels are - in the 200s. Maybe you don't get how freesat channels are grouped.

    I do but I don't use the freesat remote. I use the saorview connect one to operate both boxes and it doesn't have a list button on it to show the different genres. I just page down 3 or 4 times and that is it.

    Beg to differ, I don't have the luxury of being able to pay for sports channels and the content they show is quite good. Free NHL, soccer, basketball, rugby, etc. Going on HD can only help the channel and viewers like myself

    12 years after viewing HD for the first time I think Sky milking the extra 15 euro or so off subscribers for their HD channels is now an absolute disgrace and needs to be standardized with the emergence of 4K.

    Fair play to Freesports, Sky won't like a sports channel in HD on 28e for free that's for sure.

    If you're waiting for Sky to drop the €15 for HD I think you'll be waiting. As you know Sky is a business and as a business they have to come up with ways to keep revenue coming in so dropping the €15 for HD doesn't make commercial sense. Sky subscribers in Ireland have been ripped off for years and as long as they are willing to pay above the odds for movies and sports they will continue to be.

    +1

    In addition it is high up in my guide ... but I have not bought into any proprietary EPG listing so can arrange channels to suit my viewing needs. ;)

    I know Sky is a business.

    It will be interesting to see what happens if Sky lose Premier League games for the 19-22 seasons. They won't be in any position to milk anymore

    Sky will continue to pay way over the odds for the premier League games as the premier league is the model they build their sports channels around and as per usual they will pass the bill on to their subscribers. Unless BT Sport or even Amazon step in and out bid Sky for the main packages which could be a possibility Sky subscribers will continue to pay over the odds to see their favourite teams.

    Aren't Youtube in the mix now? And the potential for Bein to expand? Sky will pay well over the odds next time if they are to keep this product

    I've just tried the app. 10 second ad at the start but then it won't play 'saying low bandwith'.

    UKTV Play contains catchup for Dave, Drama, Yesterday & Really channels.

    No luck for me so far.

    Bad news for satellite viewers. The linear TV channel of Motorsport.tv is to close down next month. It will turn into an online subscription service on your web browsers, Apple TV, iOS & Android. It had been hoped that a HD version will appear FTA for ourselves on 28.2E & also on French satellite but it will never happen now.

    http://www.a516digital.com/2018/09/motorsport-tv-goes-online-only.html

    This is their announcement on Facebook about the online move.
    Motorsport.tv is moving to online and on demand exclusively. We’ve got all your favourite shows & races you enjoyed on TV, now on demand, any time. Visit http://motorsport.tv or go to our Apple TV, iOS & Android Apps today to take advantage of our free 30 day trial.‬

    Going the way of eleven sports. You have to wonder how many subscribers they will get. There is also the future possibility of these streaming companies being hit with a broadband infrastructure tax. Look at the money netflix is making yet doesn't contribute a penny towards the infrastructure it runs on.

    If it was to come to pass it would lead to higher subscriptions.

    Motorsport tv has flipped flopped between platforms before. On freesat they are down at channel 25_? Not many casual viewers scroll down that far.

    I rarely viewed Motorsport TV despite having it grouped with Freesport, S4C HD, Eir Sports HD, Frontrunner etc., so I reckon I will not really miss it.

    I certainly will not be paying them to be able to view it.

    Never watched it to be honest though it did have Irish rally coverage which some will surely miss here.

    On Vintage TV's return mentioned above, it seems it'll be changing to a pure jukebox channel, so no interviews, studio performances etc.
