Sky Arts Channel
Never even knew this had been taken away TBH. I had several recordings saved on this channel. Yesterday, when I went to view one, I was told that the channel was not available. That is how I found...
Hi WelshGasman
It sounds like the recorded programs were made on Sky Arts SD. This standard SD version of the channel was removed from VM boxes on 5th June 2024 and replaced by Sky Arts HD so all customers would then have free access to the HD version.
The usual practice when a channel ceases broadcasting or is switched from SD to HD is for the recordings to remain available for around 3 to 6 months after which they are no longer playable.
(Recordings are for short term time shifted purposes only and not for long term archiving/retention.)
It's possible that the actual programs you recorded are still available via catchup - there are 271 programs showing under TV Shows > Sky Arts on my 360 box.
