I'm just curious if they still exist. IIRC there were cable versions of Sky News, Sky One etc.
Anybody?
Thanks.

Anyone remember when Sky1 on Freeview had a different feed with occasional different programmes too?
Sky3 (which became Pick TV) was (and is) on Freeview, but I didn't think that Sky1 or Sky2 ever were.
I assume ozsat meant when Sky 1 was on On/ITV Digital. They didn't have the rights to show some programmes on terrestrial TV.
I never had that so I wouldn't have remembered that Sky 1 was there, encrypted and subscription only I assume.
There are only two versions on Sky News SD left at 28E, the UK version and an Irish version with customised ads for Ireland. The other ones are probably old labels but they aren't there any more. If you delete and rescan they should go.
Yes, this is what I meant.
Looks like the Sky cable variants don't exist anymore.
Some years ago, I remember that Sky used these channels to try to poach Virgin Media customers just before they took their basic channels off in a carriage dispute.
After Soccer AM earlier today, there was an advert advertising that Sky Movies was bringing the Oscars to Virgin Media.
I can't see Sky advertising this to their own customers.
Sky snooze anyone?
