BBC Three on Sky

[The Doc]

Does anyone know if BBC Three TV is coming onto SKY Digital? What about UTV/ITV and Channel 4 for Ireland?

BBC Three isn't likely to appear. It is license fee subsidised and they would have to justify making it available to us. BBC Four, News and the childrens channels have been around for a while and we havent got them, so Three isnt going to appear either.

UTV will probably never appear now that Granada have control of TV 3. I notice that we are no longer given the alternative match when 2 British teams are playing in the CL on the same night. This used to be routine.

Channel 4 have shown no desire to be on the Irish epg, but if E4 makes some revenue from their irish ads, who knows?

My considered advice? Get a FTV card!
