FishTank TV and new duplicate channels

[SwannyD2]

Hi all, 

For anyone interested, a new stream has popped up on EE TV’s multicast range this week - “FishTank TV HD”, provider is 'IPsky'.

There are actually two of them -  both encrypted and previously carrying duplicates of Sky Cinema Family HD until a few days ago. 

Guessing it might be a landscape-type channel? I can't find an existing channel with that exact name. 

Also in the last week, duplicates for these channels have appeared on separate addresses;

• BBC One East HD
• BBC One South HD
• Boomerrang SD
• Cartoon Network SD
• MTV SD

I haven’t drilled down into the stream data yet, but the ‘display name’ (not used on the guide), starts with ‘IPbbc/IPsky’ and ‘BT:IPbbc/BT:IPsky’.

Unless Sky are renaming Sky Cinema Family, it looks like we may be getting a new channel soon... and maybe a few other changes?

I'll dig down into the duplicate stream data later, see if they're actually carrying the same video streams.

Yes, and things were certainly better when we only had the Difference Engine…. 😛

I tell people I’m 42, but decline to reveal the number base 😛

My gut tells me something is definitely about to happen.

It's like when a new car is about to be launched and they test drive it with all sorts of camouflage.

@DarrenDev hinted at EETV forging closer links with Sky. The question is how close?

[Garethrprice]

@Midnight_Voice that would be a calculated risk 😉

[Weerab2024]

@Midnight_Voice I was thinking that too.

Time will tell I guess
