Just being nosey...
Does anybody know when Sci-Fi is changing to SyFy (like the US has already done)??
Reason for asking is that Sky are showing a HD trailer that shows the SyFy HD logo on channel 998.

Really? Because SCIFI is that difficult to spell is it?
or you know...god forbid a channel wants to update, rebrand and refresh it's image -_-

And yet they've done just fine up to now. It looks reeeally weird as a name and logo.
Indeed. Soon we'll be textspeeching, and talking like chavs, innit?

"innit" is not chav speak, too bad.
I was just going to say the same.
What's wrong with sci-fi? Everyone knows what it is. Just another case of if it ain't broke...
The "SyFy" spelling looks absolutely horrible.
Either way, it's not good English is it?
Well, apart from the conclusion that Americans are complete idiots and couldn't spell properly if they were forced to try at gunpoint, the justification for the ident change by the designer was that sci fi wanted to be dynamic and "in the now".
Is the UK sci-fi channel related to the US one? When I had cable years ago, I remember they had different owners.
Welcome to the idiocracy
Ydyots.
Are all channel controllers on pot?
Didnt Britain used to have a reputation for the best TV in the world??
sure - but renaming Sci-Fi as Syfy, which isn't even a word, is the lamest rebranding in the history of rebranding.
IMO.

Surprisingly though, it's resulted in an increase in ratings... Much the same way the dave rebrand did.
Sci Fi could have done much better,
New Horizons, for instance, off the top of my head.
What next - Sci Fi rename their plus one channel as R2D2?
