Sci Fi is a Polish cable and satellite television channel and the local variant of the Sci Fi channel (now Syfy) owned and operated by the international networks division of NBCUniversal and launched on 1 December 2007. Unlike its sister international variants, the Polish channel has maintained use of the "Sci Fi" brand as-is, as the word "syfy" sounds similar to syphilis in plural form in the Polish language.
