The Sky Network had their own version of America's SOAPNet? Damn, Rupert (Murdoch), you're fingers are everywhere.
-
When I first arrived I used Astra.
-
Many Astra english language UK intended channels were broadcast in the clear before BSkyB started the multichannels package in the mid 90's and encrypted most of them apart from Sky News which is still freely available across much of Europe at 19.2degE and 28.2degE position albeit in digital form. Teleclub dubs the movies it shows into German and aims it's channel at Swiss viewers,also you cannot officially subscribe to it outside that country that also explains why it's not on cable in the UK.

Well at the time I was living in Switzerland and Germany and somehow I got Sky and other UK channels in those countries.
-
No myanthony1 UK Cable didn't carry Super RTL nor Teleclub, firstly they didn't carry Super RTL as UK cable operators didn't have the broadcast rights to carry this and secondly Teleclub was(and is),a subscription only Astra delivered satellite and cable movie channel that is meant to be received and viewed in Switzerland and is generally not not carried on cable here again broadcast rights issues prevent that as it is a subscription channel.
-
On my cable Sky Sports 1 was on transponder 47 and Sky Sports 2 was 24/7
-
Do you have a closedown prior to September 1997?
-
Did anybody have the German channels? I did though. My favourites were Teleclub and Super RTL.

It's sparklie because of the old VHS wear and tear, but the PQ of this channel was crap mind you.

On our Cable we were lucky to have the full version of Sci-Fi from 7.30am to 4.00am, although Sci-Fi used to show 30 minutes of Bloomberg in the morning for some reason.
Although for a while the God Channel was broadcast on Eurosport in our area before they moved it to Animal Planet.
