3843 - now showing a copy of "1486" on 10.876 V - the Sky Sports Active stream 5.
EPG data is for More 4. There is no sound on this channel yet, but it will have both normal and Dolby 5.1 sound tracks.
I will keep an eye on it.
Thanks jimbo I do wonder why a channel from Channel 4 is showing Sky Sports interactive, also shows those interactive services are already HD internally to Sky and broadcast as SD services to the subscriber.
I guess we might see a few Sky Box Office SD channels close down on the 3rd? They usually close a few per year, think four disappeared last Jan.
Looks like your prediction was correct M60.......(and checking back, 6 SBO channels (734 - 739) closed on 4th Jan 2012....and now another 6 are to close on 3rd Jan 2013.....)
Sky Box Office 756 - 761 to close down
EPG information shows that Sky Box Office 756, 757, 758, 759, 760 and 761 will all close down on Thursday 3rd January 2013. The '..programmes no longer available' message is displayed in the listings from Thursday morning.
I thought that would be the case, guess with On Demand it counteracts the need for SD quality box office channels. Which Txp are these on I wonder? How many are left?

SBO 756, 757, 760 and 761 are on 11.565 V
SBO 758 and 759 are on 11.934 V
Thought it might have been 'Al Jazeera Arabic' because the programming was similar (when I checked last night) to that of 'Al Jazeera English', I'm most likely wrong. To be fair to myself I didn't state as fact it was Al Jazeera Arabic, just asked the question.

They closed a few others before the olympics too and those channels never returned and they're now closing a few others , i think Sky are slowly phasing out the Sky Box Office channels , eventually they'll push to promote Sky Store more or it's probably them wanting to cut the costs or to free up the EPG for more channels?

The bitrates look so low on some (<2Mb/s) the PQ must look bad, most people with HD wouldn't want to put up with poor PQ. They'd be better reducing the number right down and increasing the Box Office HD offerings.

Been a bit quiet on Sky for new launches of late but hope 2013 makes this thread busier again.

Its on a DVB-S2 Txp and you can't add them on a Sky box manually.
