Sky 2 to become +1 timeshift for Sky 1

[JTA]

Sky 2 becomes Sky1 +1 on May 10th

are you telling us that sky2 is a gonner after May 10 ? I would find this hard to believe - please elaborate. Or is it just that one of the "sky2" channels is going to be used for a new "sky1 +1" timeshift ?

I dont know the exact details or how its going to work - its something I picked up over on the DS forum

I just had a quick look at the listing for Sky 2 on mydigiguide.com and from the 10th the listing seem to mirror Sky 1 but an hour later except for a few differences, like Sky Travel being shown in the early mornings. Perhaps the channel name won't change but the prime time programming will reflect Sky 1 an hour later?

Does that mean sky 3 will become sky 1+1+1 ?

hummmmmmmmmmm... sky being sky, probably not.

I rather doubt the name will actually change - from what I can gather the programming will change so its more of a a regular timeshift channel apart from some programmes - and the tekleshopping in the morning.

Ive split this off the Channels coming to Sky thread as that thread is not really the right place for a protracted discussion.

protracted discussion.

Don't you mean speculation

Great so if we miss the first bit of sh*t on Sky one we can get a second dose of the same sh*t on Sky 2 one hour later

How do they think these things up

For me, Sky3 has more interest

Take that to its logical conclusion they could repeat the same programmes every day........No change there then!

well, I have several weekly recordings on sky2, I'll have to re-verify all my timer settings. I do think that a sky1 +1 channel is a good idea, I regulary use the +1 channels when I see something I like while zapping around, but to sacrifice sky2's schedule for this ......
