Thanks...it's a shame but also a relief that I don't have to look at everyone of Fred Dinage' (How2) wrinkles!

You should also have Cartoonito on 706 and several more BBC regional and radio channels too.

Why Diva TV+1 removed, but no regular Scy-Fy or whatever it is called now but with a +1? Is this like before, VM forcing people off analogue to go digital, now forcing people off regular digital to go HD?
Also does anyone know if More4 will get a +1 channel? If I remember rightly, this is also what happened with More4 +1. Channel 4 replaced it with Channel 4 +1. Oh and I'm not sure how swapping one +1 hour channel for another will 'force people to go HD'. The 'regular' (i.e. +0) channels are not affected. |

ResidentSD thanks for the reply.
On my EPG there is no regular Syfy channel, just the HD one and the +1 channel. I was just wondering if this was going to be the beginnings of taking off a normal channel and putting a HD one in its place with just the regular +1 channel for those without HD to view - meaning you will soon be forced to go HD. I would like to go HD, but at the same time, I don't want to be forced to take out another 12-month contract. |

Syfy is nowhere near Syfy HD and Syfy +1 on the EPG so perhaps you are looking in the wrong place for it.
Syfy should be on 135. |

It'll be a long, long time before HD channels replace their SD channel counterparts. We will probably get there at some point but it'll be a good few years yet!
![]() Some SD channels don't even broadcast in widescreen yet and a lot of content is still not even recorded in HD let alone broadcast in HD. Some channels which, by their nature, show archive material (e.g. G.O.L.D. etc.) have no need to broadcast in HD (even if scaled-up SD can look better). Félim Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, UK |

Presumably, when NGTV is fully rolled out at the end of June, the space issues for channels would have disappeared.
Just noticed that a 'jump' facility has appeared on 'On Demand', enabling you to skip 10 minutes at a time. Very useful, given the slower pace at which you can rewind or fast forward using the facility. |

I go the new channel 997 so does that mean we'll soon receive our new smart cards in the Manchester area? ![]() Quote:

Oh good - will check this eve if that means us too (Didcot) and move "V" over to recording from SyFi HD
![]() Cheers, Ashley Caution with series links: "V" had actually dropped out from SyFi standard def for some reason. Not sure if NGTV related but check series recordings anyway - might just be a thing with SyFi. Cheers Ashley |

Most likely a problem with the EPG rather than the NGTV upgrade I'd have thought.
BTW, it's SyFy but why? Indeed SyFy it changed from SciFi (or something similar) I believe because the equivalent US channel is called the same thing. Global branding. Although I almost typo'd SyFi again!
