One ident there quite similar to the one that was used in 2019 and last month, which helps suggest that it was original, not recreated.

Interesting that the background to the selection screen is animated and with music, I only remember it being static and silent. With the amount of time it was shown for it would have been nice to have had some movement and sound.

And at the very end of the video there's a short bit from 2000- which looks like it must have come from one of the cable companies still running their own version of the channel, due to the different phone number and lack of DOG.
