    It's just trailers at the moment. I want to set the Sky+ to record Blue Bloods at 22:00 but it's not showing in the guide yet.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    Incidentally, i know for HD subscribers the SD version of it is on channel 17X i think i spied on my epg - i'm just more miffed as i'd only just figured out which channel Comedy Central was on :D

    But it should be on your EPG now though.

    It appeared on my EPG late this morning, though I am an HD subscriber so it's the HD channel on 108 as mentioned above.

    Sky Atlantic is being broadcast on channel 108 in HD but for non HD subscribers then channel 173 is what your looking for.

    It was added to the Epg from 1st Feb. HTH
    You can't be lost if you don't know where you're going.

    There's a bit of confusion here.

    If you have a HD subscription, then Sky Atlantic HD is on 108 and Sky Atlantic SD is on 173

    If you don't have a HD subscription, then Sky Atlantic SD is on 108, and Sky Atlantic HD (which you won't be able to watch, even if you have a HD box) is on 173.

    Basically for HD subscribers Sky have switched their HD channels with the SD channel numbers.

    My husband set SKY earlier today to watch it. Hopefully it'll be in planner when he checks tomorrow.
