As the title, has Film4 gone bust? Just went to set up Sky+ recording and couldn't find it at its usual place of channel 315.
Checked Film4.com and no mention of any troubles.

My Sky box went screwy tonight, lots of missing channels. Did a reset thing I found online and it is back to normal.

I had to do another re-tune this week and all is well again.

On freeview? Because I lost it the other week when I did an update... If it's back on digital then I'll run another update!

on a side note, Film4 has never been the same since it became Free-to-air. you could garuntee excellent movie's on film4 most nights but sadly a lot of it is tosh now, it does occaisonaly redeem itsself however!

Yes - but I had to be careful with which transmitter to tune to. (I can get Oxon & Berks where I am but have to specify Oxon on my TV)

We had a whole load of channels disappear from our Sky box yesterday.

A couple of News channels and all the Discovery stuff went 'missing'.

A pull & push of the mains plug and the three minute wait whilst the 'bd thing' booted up again seems to have sorted it.

I'd not have noticed. Our Sky rarely changes from the Disney channel these days.

Just checked on my TiVo and its still there in the listings, films start at 11am.

Virgin had a massive TiVo update this week and my 30mb broadband has also had issues going down for most of the day a few days ago, with which I lost all TiVo with a network availability issue (i.e. broadband down) Maybe sky were doing an update too to keep up?
