Note that the source suggests the tuning list is from 1996, however the presence of Discovery Home & Leisure indicates a later date as this change from TLC took place in April 1997. Based on data analysed in the writing of this article, mid-1997 seems likely due to the absence of National Geographic (September 1997) or newer UKTV channels such as UK Horizons (November 1997).

Pricing based on February 1997 due to lack of pricing included in source.
