Possibly another global news scoop for Bedlington.co.uk? Amazingly, Simply Movies old transponder is transmitting a "THE HOME OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT" caption together with the website address www.simplymovies.co.uk as I type right now.

Amazing because the venture had been written off by all in the industry (see Wikipedia link below), and coming after weeks of blank screen followed by a "Trailor Park" (sic) caption purporting to mark the start of another new service from some Pty company or other.

On the other hand the SM website doesn't reflect any new developments. A last vain flicker of protest from some soon to be out of work technician, or a rescue just cobbled together? Stay tooooned.

The technicals are here: http://en.kingofsat....ory.php?ch=6863 and of course it's a free to air transmission else I wouldn't bother with it - don't have/want a Sky box.

Yes. it's back! The Beverley Sisters in living colour, c/w with George Cole, etc, etc. - magic!

The channel found some more money from somewhere. Maybe they charged it to Visa?

Someone really should update Wikipedia, and all those slowcoach satellite sites who will take days and weeks to deliver the story. Oh well, I see that at least Google got the news from somewhere.
