Commercial programme guide

The information on this page relates to the programme guide for residential customers. Sky also maintain a guide for its commercial customers (licensed premises and other commercial outlets). The numbering is similar to those for residential customers but there are some differences. For example, some Sky Sports channels in the 400-410 series are not on the same numbers as residential channels; some channels (for example, in the adult section) do not appear on commercial programme guides; and the HD swap system does not apply on commercial programme guides so the SD version is given greater prominence.

On commercial boxes, a version with a pint glass on-screen replaces the residential version of all Sky Sports, BT Sports, Premier Sports and eir channels. Programming is identical to the residential version, but adverts are targeted to pub-goers.
