-some clarification is needed.
+For a short time this live stream very good worked:
-on the US Sci-Fi Braveheart was never shown, nor was Passions

+.5.109.51/ostn_scifi.asx
-Braveheart was indeed shown on this channel - [http://www.innermind.com/sfc/lists/sfc0211.htm | SCI FI Schedule for November 24th, 2002]- on November 24th, 2002 at 7PM Eastern.

+It´s not pay tv  and it´s not illegal , but the access is now blocked. Can someone bring this to work again? --[[User:Enlighter1|Enlighter1]] 09:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
-"(Braveheart has been shown on SCI FI in the past and the NBC soap opera Passions is currently shown) "
-Changed name to:
-. Use Correct Corporate Name
-. Help avoid confusion with U.K. channel, which is not the same
-----
-I was under the impression that the U.K. channel was simply called Sci Fi without the word "Channel"
--[[User:JonMoore|JonMoore]] 08:55, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
-Both channels are called, simply, "Sci Fi" -- the "channel" and country designation is for disambiguity. [[User:Davodd|Davodd]] 06:11, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)
-I made the mistake of moving the German version to "Channel" from "channel" for consistency only to find that the UK version had been moved in the opposite direction (capitalisation-wise).  Perhaps as the name is simply "Sci Fi" we could move all three to something like [[Sci Fi (United States television channel)]], [[Sci Fi (United Kingdom television channel)]], and [[Sci Fi (German television channel)]]? [[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 00:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
-----
-I added the founding year of the channel and some more recent show titles, and also changed the name of Deepwater Black to Mission Genesis.  (The show was called MG in the US and DB outside the US, so I think this is more appropriate, since we're talking about the US version of Sci Fi.)
-== Other Movies Shown on SciFi? ==
-Does this merely include B-movies not produced by their film productions or simply anything aired thereon that's a film?
-[[User:DoctorWho42|DrWho42]] 23:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
-----
-Back in '92 when the channel launched, just before they started the movie star wars, they had a 10 second bumper that read "Dedicated to --" with three names listed. My memory isn't great, but I think two of the names they mentioned were Issac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. If anyone could remember or find out the names this should be something added to the trivia section.

-== Sci Fi channel DVDs ==
-I noticed that many Sci Fi Channel movies and miniseries get relesed on DVD (such as [[Man with the Screaming Brain]], [[Alien Apocalypse]], [[Alien Lockdown]], The Dune Miniseries and so-on, all of which are availible at Amazon.com), does anyone know where I can find out about upcoming Sci Fi Chanel DVD releases? Specifiacially, I am wondering if they will release [[Mammoth (film)]] on DVD, and when that might happen.
-*I'd like to know that too. It would be great if Mammoth came out on DVD becuase I'm a fan of Summer Glau (who stars in Mammoth) and would love to own the DVD version of the movie. [[User:151.203.160.169|151.203.160.169]] 06:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
-== [[List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs]] ==
-Moved the list to: [[List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs]]. It was overpowering the main article about the network. Some non-archival information may need to be re-imported to flesh out some of the paragraphs. - [[User:Davodd|Davodd]] 06:55, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
-== POV and Cleanup issues need addressed ==
-I have tagged this article for POV and innaccuracy reasons. (see Below)
-'''ORIGINAL TEXT:'''<blockquote>There are a growing number of cable viewers who feel that the network has lost focus from its founding principles. Critics site programming like [[Braveheart]], the NBC soap opera ''[[Passions]]'', [[WWE]] wrestling (aired in May 2006) and episodes of [[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]] (aired in May 2006) {{fact}}, as these programs have little relevance to science fiction. For the time being, it seems science fiction will only be relegated to special event programming (like [[The Triangle]], aired in December 2005) and the very few original series that SCI FI does air that can be classified as science fiction, like [[Battlestar Galactica]] and [[Eureka]] and [[The Dresden Files]], planned for the 2006-2007 season.</blockquote>
-'''POV Phrases:'''
-#"and the very few original series that SCI FI does air"
-#"these programs have little relevance to science fiction"
-#"it seems science fiction will only be relegated to special event programming"
-'''Innacurracies:'''
-# Citing of the mysterious and unnamed and uncited '''"them"''':
-#:- "There are a growing number of cable viewers who feel"
-#:- "Critics site"
-# Wrong information:
-#:- "the NBC soap opera ''[[Passions]]'' ... (has) little relevance to science fiction."
-:::Reason: ''Passions'', although a soap opera, is a '''supernatural''' soap opera with witches, golems and magic.

-== Moved from Article to talk page ==
-The following was moved to this talk page from the main article for POV and accuracy reasons noted above. Please feel free include facts from the below info in the main article once they are cited and checked for accuracy. - [[User:Davodd|Davodd]] 19:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
-===Current controversy among fans===
-There are a growing number of cable viewers who feel that the network has lost focus from its founding principles.
-Critics cite programming like [[Braveheart]], the NBC soap opera ''[[Passions]]'', [[WWE]] wrestling, aired in May 2006,
-([http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=30-MAY-2006 SCI FI May 30th, 2006 Schedule]) and episodes of [[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]], aired in May 2006 ([http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=4-MAY-2006&feed_req SCI FI May 4th, 2006 Schedule]) , as these programs have little relevance to science fiction. For the time being, it seems science fiction will only be relegated to special event programming (like [[The Triangle]], aired in December 2005) and the very few original series that SCI FI does air that can be classified as science fiction, like [[Battlestar Galactica]] and [[Eureka]] and [[The Dresden Files]], planned for the 2006-2007 season.
-== Contrast betwixt 1992-1998 Sci-Fi Channel and the Bonnie Hammer era ==
-Frankly, as several viewers of the channel are well-aware, there is a definate difference betwixt the two eras.. I think there should be a segment written up concerning thereto. [[User:DoctorWho42|DrWho42]] 00:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
-== SciFi.com ==
-There should be a segment of the article concerning the website itself and the message boards therein as has [[G4 (TV channel)|G4]] has [[G4_(TV_channel)#Website & Message Boards|done]]. [[User:DoctorWho42|DrWho42]] 02:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
-== Two articles to mention/expand upon... ==
-[[SCI FI Magazine]] and [[SCI FI Wire]] should definitely be expanded and mentioned upon this article. Preferably subscribers or people who frequent that isle of the Internet... [[User:DoctorWho42|DrWho42]] 06:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
