No Chances are that as its replacing FTN, FTN will just disappear overnight one evening & be replaced by V1.

No - different companies.

FTN & V1 are part of the Virgin Media empire

ABC 1 is part of the Disney empire.

I had been looking forward th StarTrek DSN on V1 this evening, but SWMBO decided she was watching the Eureka double episode on Sky Onc instead. So I put my headphones on and tuned out listening to rock mp3's :-rofl2

Then found a tp on16E in the clear so been flicking through those channels :D

All them dishes and receivers and you still obey SWMBO??? :-rofl2

I wasn't as keen on DS9 as the other series as they never really went anywhere, just to & from the station, but still, I get the chance to look at my beautiful USS Leeds (well, not my USS Leeds, that lives on my laptop... :D ) docked on the station during the credits... :D
