Sky getting softer?

I know there have been recent articles in the press about impending HC via Sky but over the last few nights the output of PBTV/TAC has gone very tame. Have they been tipped off that OFCOM are watching or is it just a bad week or so?
Anyone notice difference in output from other channels, eg TVX?
Cheers,

I think Ofcom are watching.
The latest programme complaints bulletin details a complaint regarding 'general concerns about the suitability of programmes on some adult channels'.
Playboy was unable to supply taped recordings of the programmes - due to a 'power cut' - but has taken steps to ensure it can do so in future as any repetition would be regarded as a serious breach.

Given this it wouldn't be surprising if they played it safe for a while.
The same bulletin rejects complaints about Baise-Moi on Sky Cinema. Explicit sexual violence on a general subscription movie channel while the specialist adult channels are tame garbage.
Hopefully even Ofcom will realise the absurdity and change the situation soon.
