It's been annoying me for ages and I don't understand it ... but you lot will.
I have a freeview box, I flick through the channels and up pops one that calls itself: UKTV STYLE.
It says
Now: Living in the Sun
So I stop flicking, the screen is black. There's nothing.
This channel is never "on".
Why's that?

Its not available on Freeview - you can top up (i.e. pay) to get it on Freeview.0

its an encrypted subscription channel, you need a compatiable box and a subscription to view it.0

Ah .... Oh....
Well, thanks for the answer. That's annoying then. I wish it wasn't on the list ... they tempted me the b4st4rds.
At least I have no understanding of subscription services and boxes so won't be tempted0 -
