I’m not too surprised Sky have decided to make Sky Arts FTA, not only does it expand its reach but with BBC Four becoming more of an archive channel, it’s filing a gap nicely. Sadly I think it means that Challenge will likely leave Freeview

As I've mentioned in another thread I suspect it will lead to Sky putting out premium paid content alongside the free to air paid offerings

As if my recorder isn't full enough already!
At risk of sounding ungrateful - will it be an HD channel?

At risk of sounding ungrateful - will it be an HD channel? It'll be SD only, keeping the HD service for Sky subscribers to encourage you to pay... |

Alas, I live in flats in a conservation area, so it's nigh on impossible to get a Sky dish. I know other options are available, and I probably could upgrade my NowTV account to HD to get it, but I like being able to record. I suppose that's supposed to be another thing to tempt me to sign up properly. |

Sky say it’s being launched today but I don’t know if different transmitters turn it on at different times, so try later - it should work even if you’ve got an old box or TV set.

I don't think programming starts until 2pm so maybe try then as I retuned my boxes and it wasn't showing yet.

Didn't come up when I persuaded my husband to retune this morning. Hope I can get him to try again later.

Mine has come up now , just need to retune anytime from now on. It must not have worked until the channel started today at 2pm.

Danny Dyer was mates with Harold Pinter??? Of course, and you can see why, he's like a Pinter character. It's also why he appeared in the Pinter at the Pinter season. |

I retuned to get Sky Arts. Saw a documentary of Faberge which from the day-glo colours and fuzzy focus looked as if it had been made in 1980. I shall persist as I believe they have the rights to "Inside The Actors Studio" which is so bad it's good.

We watched the best Saturday night telly for months last night - Queen at Wembley, Stones in Hyde Park followed by Madness documentary. Will definitely keep an eye on future offerings.

Les Mis 25th anniversary concert on tonight at 19.10 I retuned my box and recorder for this, looking forward to it. Great to have theatre shows on Freeview, hope it's the start of many! |

Madam Butterfly from Covent Garden was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning. I'd no intention of watching it all, but she managed to hold my attention for 2+1/2 hours.
