A TV channel has been pulled from Sky and Freeview boxes after just weeks of being on air over a massive tech blunder.
Seen On TV has now come off Sky, Freeview and Freesat. The move to pull the channel follows a string of financial and technical problems.
Sky pulled the East Midlands channel from its guide on Tuesday afternoon. Seen on TV went to black on Freeview and Freesat.
A representative of the channel posted on social media that the channel had lost access to its technology platforms.
At the weekend, Seen On TV’s Alex Knowles blamed “platforms we are working with increasing the rent within the contract and once we were on air”.
In a comment on ShoppingTelly.com, Knowles confirmed the channel needed to “seek more investment” to keep going.

In a series of posts on social media, the channel sought to reassure viewers until recently that orders would be fulfilled.
Seen On TV previously occupied the 682 slot on Sky until it was pulled by the broadcaster.
Chart Show Retro has recently been replaced. The station was a revival of an old channel watched by music lovers in the 90s and 00s.
Chart Show Retro re-emerged on Sky satellite boxes in March, offering tunes from the 1980s onwards.
But little over three months later, the channel’s owners have decided to give it a total rebrand and change of tack.
As of today it’s called That’s Dance with a focus on dance and club music from across the decades.
The channel number on Sky Q remains the same at 360.
