My Channel 5 HD on my Sky box mysteriously vanished this week. Last week it was working fine - now it says I have to call to "upgrade".
It turns out that you can now only get Channel 5 HD by being on the EE+ package with SKY.
Did anybody else get told that this was going to happen? I didn't ! :mad:0 -
What do channel 5 show that's worth watching in HD?!Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0

Not much, granted. But it seems yet another con by SKY to get you to pay more money for something you already had for free.0 -

Appears Five just did the dirty, no notification as far as I am aware. Check out DS, two threads running on their in Sky and in Freesat (thought it was never on Freesat only Freesat from Sky).0 -
Hardly Sky, it's Channel5 who've decided to put their channel behind the paywall.DonnySaver wrote: »it seems yet another con by SKY to get you to pay more money for something you already had for free.0 -
