Hi m8, your paranoidism is showing up again :) .
To be honest I would rather be "down there" but the job moved up here from London over 30 years ago and regretfully can not afford to move "down south".
Cheers AF

Life TV has changed frequency, and started testing again, so are likely to rejoin in the next few days on 160.

UKTV Style Gardens are reported testing on 11.817V, symbol rate 27500, fec 2/3. There is speculation they may in fact launch on Monday 21st February.

ITV are planning ITV 4 sometime later this year, it will be targetting the male audience, so this is likely to see the demise of Men & Motors..

I go away for the weekend, and shed loads of news breaks :D
so in no particular order,

Looks like another epg shuffle on the way, as Music Choice will be moving from 480/481 to 498/499 on March 14th.

Myphone.TV just launched on 658.

The Poker Channel will launch 23rd March

Smooth FM north west has arrived on 878

Jazz FM London on 917 to be rebranded as Smooth FM in Q3 2005.

Life TV have sorted their tech problems out and have rejoined us on 160

Talksport are moving epg slots next week after the sale of the format. They wave goodbye to Get Lucky on 235, and will appear on William Hill's Channel 425 (epg 425 strangely enough) 4pm - 7pm.

ACTV has just toppled off epg 211 again. No idea why yet

Shop Smart will not be returning to 656. Its licence was revoked today

"Ofcom has today revoked the TV license of Shop Smart after failing to communicate with the media regulator.

The Advertising Standards Authority referred Shop Smart to Ofcom in December, after finding the broadcaster in breach of its licence for failing to supply goods to customers in the delivery times it advertised.

Ofcom received nineteen complaints during June and December 2004 from viewers who had ordered goods from Shop Smart but had not received them."

Sit-up the owwners of Bid-up TV & Price-drop TV are in the process of launching yet another "live, dynamic pricing retail channel." No name known yet, but no doubt in a few weeks time, another auction channel selling the usual rubbish will be cluttering up the epg.

That TV have updated their website and it now says "The Channel will be launching later this year" http://www.thattv.co.uk

Well enough people must watch the shopping channels to make them viable. Those channels that are under financed or dont get sufficient viewers soon disappear:
