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.

Looks like this is the dawning of the age of aquariums 😛

It's been a while since we had anything new to be honest

Very good @Midnight_Voice , it'll probably pass most people by though.

@Midnight_Voice It's ok, it was 14 years before my time (as my BT forum id indicates) but I looked it up on YouTube and recognised the lyrics in the song lol

This has to be a codename surely?

Cod name?

But as TVs are jocularly called ‘the haunted fish tank’ (or were in my day, anyway), this may be a reference harking back to that.

Yes, but you are 145 Roy! 🤣
