I've never heard of Ovation TV and as far as I know it's never been on the Sky platform. Juice however has been on Sky Digital for many years. Used to be on UHF analogue til 2011.

Freeview is not on D2, it's on D1 along with Sky.

Juice is on Sky, not Freeview. Ovation I see is listed on D2.

Foxtel and Austar dumped it back in 2012. It is still available online and on smart tv's. I think the satellite feed on D2 was just to guage interest.

Niche channels like that tend to struggle financially.

There is a teaser stream at their website, but even the ripped link stops after a minute

Hey Guys 

Just to confirm from Freeview's side:

Ovation is not part of the Freeview Lineup, and was not located on the same satellite as Freeview. 

I personally have access to Optus D2 in which is channel was on and there seems to be a signal but no access. I do remember them launching a few years ago. The last time I checked this was a month ago as far as I remember.
