Good work on the list. Here's a couple of minor points that might be worth
mentioning though.
> Exclusives - Ondigital

This exclusive only applies to England. In Scotland, Wales and NI the
local BBC regions are delivered over satellite.
> 8. Carlton Select
> 9. Carlton Food Network
Not really relevant to this list, but Carlton Food Network and Carlton
Select are available on some (all?) cable services.

There are 48ppv channels plus the ppv preview channel
So it`s 68 + 44audio + 49ppv = 161 channels

Wrong.. When 750 is used 748 is not active, so at any one time 48ppv
+1 preview are active..

Nope..

The same applies to 127 and 604, but you still counted both of those.

Yes you do. The Sky Digital Guide.
It's crap for anything but a list of iflms as it only shows time based
listings for 'peak time' viewing.
And can we stop quoting all of every post please - it just wastes
download time.

My two pennorth, Your messages are often hard to read because you post
immediately after the text you are quoting, if you left one blank line (as
above) I wouldn't miss some of your stuff.

Some use mono displays, some are colour blind, some have tried other
newsreaders and didn't like them :)
