[QUOTE="Dave5118, post: 1082735, member: 349577"] Yep, absolutely spot on. My memory is not the best, but seem to remember Multichoice bought Filmnet and expanded into the nordic region(later Greece and their native South Africa), but faced with stiff opposition, sold their European operations to Canal Plus, but continued in Greece for years later. Multichoice is still going strong it seems in SA, now known as DSTV. Their main sports channels being Supersport...... a name synonymous with the Greek sport channels in the early digital era. Multichoice, sold the Scandi/Benelux versions of Filmnet to Canal Plus.... and if I'm mistaken, not heard anybody mention the cable feeds of C+ on 27.5w in the early days of digital, which were broadcast in the clear, albeit with no PMT info available, so no picture on satellite receivers without editing the channel info. Dr Overflow suddenly became very popular shortly after though :D Also, getting back to Filmnet, anybody else use teletext page 777? Possibly the worlds first EPG? Probably not though. [/QUOTE]
