| Sex View / 12 Plus service ceases, replacement announced |
As of 14.30 GMT on December 3rd, Sex View ceased broadcasting after 7 years, and will be re-launched as SV Theme X TV from the 10th December.
The new package will have 8 not 12 channels, broadcasting 6 films a day per channel, 4 of which will be new releases.
This follows several months of speculation as the old Sex View channels video quality had deteriorated over the past couple of months with more films being repeated.
SV Theme X TV promises less repeats, newer films and a wider range of content. The channels will be known as: Theme X – Hardcore, Theme X – Interracial, Theme X – Groups, Theme X – 18, Theme X – Fetish, Theme X – Catch, Theme X – Peep and Theme X – Trans.
SV Theme X TV will honour all subscription cards all ready bought for the length of the remaining subscription.
We are sorry for any problems this change-over causes. [05/12/09]
