Sky gardening progs?

shegar

Hi hope your all well, I use to watch a lot of repeated gardening progs on sky, think it was channel 245 ???? ish.....or somewhere there.........

I know they havent been on for a long time, but do anyone know if there is any gardening progs on the sky now please.........or have they moved somewhere else.?

God knows why we dont get them anymore, im talking repeats of Gardeners World, Ground force, etc. many thanks if you can point me in the right direction........

About 3 years ago when I got Sky they had a Garden TV channel (one of the reasons I got it). It had endless repeats of the sort of shows you are talking about.

Unfortunately they took it off air not long after I took out Sky and not aware of any other channels taking on the mantel of screening these repeats.

I think at the time somebody suggested Rural TV as next best alternative but gave up checking it as never really had anything I was interested in and not sure if it is still running.

There's not a gardening channel as such, but sometimes the channels around 250 do show series of shows. They seem to come in chunks, so one will show the complete series of 3 things at once. You just have to keep your eyes open.
I haven't noticed anything on at this time. If you like fishing however, the tv world is your mollusc atm.

Sky's digital TV subscribers can look forward to tuning into a new gardening-based micro-channel, which is due to launch next year.

The Horticultural Channel will broadcast on the Information TV channel, which can be found at position 166 in the Sky TV planner and 402 on Freesat, when it hits screens for the first time on March 6th 2011, reports Digital Spy.

It will be available to watch from 09:00 on Sunday mornings, with all shows then repeated on Information TV the following Friday.
