That's what I was wondering too.. is he part of an ident?

He looks like Josh Bowman (in Revenge), not sure he's him

Yes, he's part of one of Sky Witness's idents, the car crash investigation one.

Sky Max isn't showing on my Sky Q at all. Showcase is there, and Comedy is on 114. Typical Sky not working when you want it

Same for me. Also, my Disney+ app isn't working on Sky Q and the 'My Sky' app isn't working on my phone either!

Does/did Sky 1 still show the American religious shows on Sunday mornings? I guess that will have been dropped now?

The Hour Of Power was Sky One's longest running programme from the beginnings of Sky One (possibly Sky Channel) right through to the end.

The Hour Of Power will be on Sky Showcase this Sunday between 6-7am

Mine flipped over automatically without a reboot just after 11am. Flipped as in the EPG was updated although I was still watching Sky Max on 106 at the time.

It is 2021 after all, channel launches aren't exactly treated with all the glitz and glamour in the past, say 10 years ago.

Reboot your box and it should redownload the EPG data.

A few Hours later, and we have both channels. Wonderful.

The One to Watch used to be BBC One's tagline.

There are obvious limits in the EPG letters

They are not new limits, they've been there for ages. I always remember the horrible "SkyFairyTlsHD" as a thing, it was a pop-up channel for Sky Cinema, entitled Sky Fairy Tales (HD) back in 2016.

Not sure if this has changed with SkyQ, though since all three Sky platforms share the same EPG info (AFAIK), probably still a thing on Q.

Cartoon Network is similar with "Cartoon Net HD" (HD) and "Cartoon Netwrk" (SD).

How spoilt are we? Go back 25 years and you were lucky to identify two or more timesharing channels in four characters Tongue

Could have been an even less agreeable choice with just one letter's difference. :lol:
