Whatever happened to skynews?

I was watching skynews the other day on Qtel's MVDS, and found out it was taken over by Euronews. This is bad because i did not want euronews in the firstplace. How can i get Skynews back? In addition, why didnt qtel ask us if we wanted it changed?

PLEASE HELP!Cry

Anyone had the same thought as me about why Qtel have taken off Sky News? - They want us all to watch the new Al Jazeera English news instead - hey and what an easy way to sort that one out - take it off the air.

And as for EuroNews...... well that is another story!

Having called 111 to find out, it apears that Qtel aren't able to screen SKY News any more, maybe license issues, but the replacement is certainly not up to scratch. Perhaps if enough people contact Q-tel things may change...
