Sikh Channel are doing an excellent job. I'm sure the channel is on 24/7 in many households (as at mine). To date, I have not seen any Dhadi Jathas, which would be nice to see on a regular basis as well as some live smagams and discussion/historical shows. I'm sure these will appear in due course.

Anyway its a great start. Well done!

This is the platform we have been waiting for for years. Please, lets support the Gursikhs who have taken this massive commitment on (whoever they are).

A Sikh Channel will change many peoples lives. I can see how it's changing my family's daily routine and we seem to have less reason to watch mainstream TV.

Thank you for the support :)

We will be featuring dhadhis in the near future - thats confirmed.

The Sky Guide will feature full listings and descriptions every day of what will be on once the channel is going full speed. We will also have the full schedule of Saturday available very soon on the net and on the Sky guide so watch this space.

Thanks for the good work so far!

If possible please play some videos about 1984 - there is a really good DVD called "Operation Blue Star" that is sold at the stall in Havelock Rd Gurudwara. It has hours of previously unseen footage.

Another thing that would be really good is if you show Deevans of Sant Isher Singh Rarewale - there is a series od DVDs that have been cleaned and remastered. They explain stuff very simply and can really bring listeners closer to Guru Sahib.

Diwans of Sant Ishar Singh Ji would be brilliant to show.

I would also suggest that more effort be made by gurdwaras, jathas and individuals to record stage programes to show on SIkh channel. That way we would never be short of content, and it wouldnt be the same old same old.

record kirtan, katha, dhadi, kavshri, camps, gatka, community programmes etc.

The Sikh channel is excellent.

The kathakaars in the evenings are really good especially when they talk in english also, as I am sure there are a lot of youngsters who benefit from this.

I would urge that the presenters need to be young, very articulate and are knowledgable about sikhi.

I would also urge that the kirtanees and kathakaars as asked to smile a little as they seem to be so glum, maybe it is nerves but if they smile that comes across really well.

I would love discussion programs to be up and running soon.

Maybe Question Answer sessions also.

Maybe voxpops type programs where the cameras go into town or to gurdwara and just interview random Sikhs and Sikh families just to get a feeling how our Sikhs are feeling at the moment.

i was wondering if you have had any feedback from other faiths as I am sure they must have come across the channel by now. I think our Hindu brothers only really has Asstha TV as an equivelent as most of their channels are Bollywood bakwaas, and I am sure a lot of Hindus who appreciate raag/taal would be watching as most of the kirtan is done in Raag/taal - which is really great. I was wondering how our Muslim brothers maybe feeling when we talk about all the Kurbani's by the Shaheed Singhs under Mughal rule?

Everyone I have talked to have only positive things to say about the Sikh Channel.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
