Hi

Does anyone know where Retro Movies has gone. It used to be 327 on TV but I noticed today that it has gone!

Cheers

Paul McKenzie: Retro Movies seems to have gone off air on , resulting in it being removed from the and EPGs. It is apparently still available via the Channelbox service on Freeview, however no announcement has been made by the owners of the as to why it has ceased broadcasting on satellite and when or if it will return.
