Update
'Fashion One' has now been removed from Sky EPG 257. Currently showing a static screen with the message "This Service is Currently Unavailable". Note: This occurred yesterday. http://www.fashion.tv/posts/read/36690 The caption does say currently not available. I wonder if either Fashion TV HD or Fashion 4K is coming to replace Fashion 1? If not, can we receive Eurobird 9 in the UK? |

Is that the best they can do for picture quality? Surely it will be better when they officially start?

That ok I never like week 49 anyway.
![]() ![]() To be honest, I don't really see the point of updating this weekly and it would be easier for jimbo too. Similar threads just run and run until they become too big, in which case DS Forum Support will close it and open a continuation thread. |

Similar threads just run and run until they become too big, in which case DS Forum Support will close it and open a continuation thread. So we will stick with weekly updates. In normal circumstances, the only two weekly is the one that runs over Christmas and new year. Next update for week 50 will be later today. |

The press release; Quote:
The Independent Directors of Sky plc ("Sky") note today's share price increase, and announce that Sky has received an approach from 21st Century Fox, Inc. (Nasdaq: FOXA). After a period of negotiation, the Independent Directors of Sky and 21st Century Fox have reached agreement on an offer price of £10.75 per share in cash, less the value of any dividends subsequently paid by Sky (the "Proposal"). However, certain material offer terms remain under discussion and there can be no certainty that an offer will be made by 21st Century Fox, nor as to the terms of any such offer. http://www.streetinsider.com/Corpora.../12328887.html
The Independent Directors, who have received financial advice from Morgan Stanley, PJT Partners and Barclays, have indicated to 21st Century Fox that they are willing to recommend the Proposal to Sky shareholders, subject to reaching agreement on the other terms. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Morgan Stanley, PJT Partners and Barclays have taken into account the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors. The Proposal represents a premium of 40% to the closing price on 6th December, being the last business day prior to the initial proposal being received from 21st Century Fox, and a premium of 36% to the closing price on 8th December, being the last business day prior to this announcement. Sky has formed an independent committee of the Board (the "Independent Committee") to consider the terms of the Proposal. The Independent Committee comprises Martin Gilbert, Andrew Sukawaty, Jeremy Darroch, Andrew Griffith, Tracy Clarke, Adine Grate, Matthieu Pigasse and Katrin Wehr-Seiter, each of whom the Board of the Company considers to be free from conflicts of interest with regard to the Proposal (the "Independent Directors"). The members of the Independent Committee will act in accordance with their duties as directors and, in particular, in order to protect the interests of shareholders. Discussions are continuing and a further announcement will be made in due course as appropriate. In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, 21st Century Fox is required to clarify its intentions by no later than 5.00pm on Friday 6th January 2017 (or such later date as the Takeover Panel may consent to in relation to 21st Century Fox, at the request of Sky), by either announcing a firm intention to make an offer or that it does not intend to make an offer. |

Well considering Rupert Murdock owns 21st Century Fox not very much. There have been takeover plans for Sky before.
