Sci-Fi and SF are like Trekkies and Trekkers. Trekkers are had core fans of Star Trek and Trekkies (think "groupies") maybe want to have sex with Mr. Spock. Words are very powerful. As to the channel unfortunately I suspect the problems have to do with ratings, and rights to material and stuff like that all the while competing with other channels who don't cater to those of us with non-mainstream tastes. Dollars (or Yen or Lire or whatever) still rule.
