Info from one of the lads on the DS forum who owns a channel


Watch out for a clutch of channel closures in January/early Feb.

Sky has now sent out letters to all channels re renewal of the EPG contracts (all of which expire in mid January 2010). They have sneakily inserted a clause that says that contracts won't be renewed unless the account with Sky is up to date.
