What's up with Channel 44 in some parts of Berlin?

Question

Why is channel 44 in a hotel in Berlin, Germany just a bunch of sheep jumping over a bush? Is it specific to the hotel I'm in (Hilton Courtyard) or is it a citywide thing? And what's it for?

Answer 1

That's not specific to the hotel you're in but to all hotels that get their TV programmes from the same company. And what are jumping sheep good for? If you can't sleep, you may count sheep to find your sleep :-)

Answer 2

It's supposed to make you sleepy.

Don't you know the old trick to think of sheep when you'r sleepless? That's what it's for. And I believe it is Hotel specific, not Berlin wide.
