Unlike NBCUniversal's other science fiction channels around the world, the Polish channel maintained the "Sci Fi" brand on October 14, 2010. The term "syfy" has negative connotations in Polish,[2] because it is a plural form of the word syf 'dirt, syphilis', which is why they chose to become Sci Fi rather than "Syfy".

On October 9, 2009 the Serbian and Slovenian feed of Sci Fi were launched: these two feeds are the same channel as Sci Fi Poland, only with Serbian and Slovenian subtitles.[3]
