True Detective on Sky Showcase

Instead of True Detective on Sky Showcase, channel 114, I see Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Why is this, it's infuriating ?

have a 360 box, version 5.06

    Sky Showcase HD is on Ch109. Ch114 is Alibi HD

      Not for me. Ch 109 is BBC 2

      Ch 114 is sky showcase HD.

        Hi Byrnec 

        It looks like you are based in Ireland as VM Ireland have BBC2 HD on Ch109 and Sky Showcase HD on 114, whereas these forums are for helping UK customers and  sorry to say can't help with VM Ireland issues.VM Ireland is a separate company to VM UK.

        Details of True Detective airing in Ireland are on the the following page :-

        https://entertainment.ie/tv/where-to-watch/true-detective-408708/ 

        Below is a screenshot taken from https://entertainment.ie/ showing the program listed for next Monday at 2am

        (The first three series of True Detective is available on Sky Showcase (channel 109) on VM in the UK. Season 4 of True Detective is only available on Sky Atlantic in the UK and that channel isn't available on VM UK, only on Sky and Now TV.)

    You'd posted in the TV360 section of the forum, so I presumed that's the box you had.

    Do you have a Stream non-recording box?

    At time of this thread being started, Sky Showcase in the UK was showing True Detective, not Buzzcocks.

    Changing the title (and therefore the SL) for each series is a trick occasionally used by broadcasters - Cobra is another example. It's frankly a nuisance, but not something VM have any say over, if the broadcaster insists.

    I have this one recorded, but have a bit of a backlog of drama serials so won't get to it anytime soon.
