Sky Channel Changes February 2011 – MTV, SyFy, FX, Comedy Central
Sky will be changing their programme numbers for some of the channels on their Pay TV packages.
In addition to some of the Sky HD channels taking over their standard definition channels, MTV, Comedy Central, Universal, Syfy and FX being given higher profile channel slots in the entertainment section of the EPG.
The SKy channel changes include:
Comedy Central move from channel 126 to 112,
Universal will relocate from 130 to 113
Syfy will shift to channel 114 from 129,
FX will upgrade to 124 from 164
MTV will move to 126 from 350
Also,
Sky1 at channel 106,
Sky Living (formerly the Living channel) at 107
Sky Atlantic channel at 108.
I wonder if this line up will mean that some of those programmes, like TNA Wresting and DOG The Bounty Hunter, that were on Bravo, which is no longer on Sky or Virgin, will finally be confirmed to be transfered to other channels.
With MTV moving to 126 from 350, MTV will be classed as an Entertainment channel.
MTV will be launching another music channel on Sky channel 350
According to this months Sky magazine:
Sky Arts 1 & 2 are also moving to the varity pack, but are staying in the lifestyle section of the EPG.
Sky3 moves from 108 to 152.
Sky3+1 moves from 223 to 153.
Sky Living SD moves to 172 for HD pack viewers.
Sky Atlantic SD is on 173 for HD pack viewers.
