Who have they alienated exactly? Most people here keep saying what a success they could have been and what good ideas they had.
^They might have supported Sin TV at one point because they were new and people gave them the benefit of the doubt. Things however have changed.

yes 942 has been removed from the EPG. if you key it in jest says unavailable. the freeview IPTV channel not removed jest yet.
^Presumably though, they will only have so long to pay what they owe to sky?

The licence Sin TV has, just gives them the means to broadcast a TV channel via Cable and Satellite if they wish to do so, either now or in the future .(as long as they carry on paying their Ofcom fees)
Some channels keep their broadcasting licenses up to date, and carry on paying their fees to Ofcom for many years even though they don't have any TV channel slots or broadcast any programs on TV
Their licence just allows them to broadcast legally on TV, it doesn't give them a Sky TV slot, they have to purchase the Sky slot separately, giving up a Sky slot doesn't automatically mean they will have to give up their Ofcom licence .

Sin TV owe Sky nothing. EPG slots have to be paid for IN ADVANCE.
^ I presume they're paid quarterly in advance? That would explain why they've just had the plug pulled - three months plus 30 days' grace to pay the next instalment.
You are correct Pixel, Sky invoice quarterly in advance.
Does anyone know how much sky charge the babe channels for a slot on their EPG ?
