I think it's a perfect name. It relates to drama and sounds quite exclusive.


I'll wait to see if it passes the test with my parents next time I see them - If they know what it's called, it's a goer Wink

All this DOG talk, I wasn't sure where else to put it, but I think the ITV HD DOG has got much smaller...

... which is brilliant when it's trying to sell a channel full of repeats.

They've given it a real premium and quite classy look for the channel from what we've seen so far. I presume in the long term the channel will have some original content so it's less of a glorified repeats channel.

Same size to me.

It has now appeared on the Sky EPG:

123 - ITV Encore HD
193 - ITV Encore +1
298 - ITV Encore

Sky Living +1 has been moved up once slot to 122, with SkyLivingIt being relegated to 222, next to its +1 channel on 223. It replaced Sky Arts 2 (SD), which can now be found on 297.

Interesting, well kind of interesting, to see ads for next weeks programming on Encore running in the slots either side of the break on Sky News usually reserved for Sky branded or Sky joint-venture channel promos. Guess it might be a one off thing in the weeks before and after the launch.

Well isn't it a joint venture project.

So Sky Livingit is being lined up for closure then? Makes sense - their branding is behind the mothership's branding by a couple of years.

They are giving that impression by the movement so far down the EPG, I reckon.

Grrrrr!!!! Mad They were nice clean ident recordings too.

Perhaps they aren't going to be the ones shown from Monday?

Maybe they WILL include that snazzy bronze logo with the 'blue highlights' emanating from the 3D effect.
