Anyone know why the arabic version has come off the EPG?


There is a waiting list for EPG numbers, perhaps they've withdrawn the arabic one to give the english one a quick launch

AJI will want an EPG number at launch, therefore taking the Arabic Channel off the EPG means that AJI may get an immediate number (it will probably be at the back end of the news channels in the 500s) instead of having to wait for one.

It's still broadcasting, just not on the EPG, you'll have to tune it in again manually.

Press services on your remote, go to system set up, then to add channels, enter 11.527 in the frequency box, the polarity to V, symbol rate to 27.5 and the FEC to 2/3, then select, al jazerra should come up, highlight it, press the yellow button and select and it should be stored under other channels.

Oooooo, what is the schedule like?! I've tried really hard to be near somewhere with Sky Digital for the 1st of next month, but it looks like the soonest I'll get to watch is the 9th Evil or Very Mad According to the schedule what time is Riz Khan's programme on? I think it's called Riz Khan On Air or something!
