Freeview channel changes for Cellcast shows

quote='TheWatcher'
It had been reported that Freeview channel 99 transmits BS2. Although my EPG found channel 99 over a week ago, there has never been any program info displayed for it, and there still isn't.
As an experiment I decided to try a manual timer recording for 30 minutes starting at 5.00am this morning. I was not hopeful of getting anything, but BS2 was indeed recorded ok. I got a couple of minutes of Dani followed by Kelly until the show ended at 5.30am. Don't know at what time the show actually started on channel 99.
Screenshot of Kelly is below. Note the new logo in top left corner.


Show kicks off on 99 at 04:00 - 05:30

BS2 will run on FV on channel 95 from 00:00-05:00 as per usual.

It will also run from 04:00-05:30 on channel 99.

So, if you fancy uninterrupted viewing of hot babes simply switch over from 95 before 05:00 and continue all the way 05:30! Woo-Hoo!

Mod.

What is the point of transmitting the identical show, BS2, on 2 different chanels, 95 and 99, at the same time, between 4.00am and 5.00am?

There probably isn't one but 4:00 - 5:30 gives us the final half hour of the show and makes more sense than just transmitting from 5:00 to 5:30.

jest a update 4 you all.
channel 99 now has some programme info on the EPG.

this info is babestation 2 extra
but the off air screen has not changed

Really;thats good news! Must try it when my wife goes to bed! Thanks.

your right it is on right but at 12am you will need to switch over to ch 95 to watch the rest of the show as a preview show starts at that time on ch 99

Channel 99 is now displaying program info in the EPG (but only on 3 out of my 4 freeview boxes, even after a retune on the one with no info)

10.00pm to midnight is BS2
midnight to 4.45am is Babestation preview, whatever that is.

Looking forward to having an early night for a change.

i wonder if ch99 will be showing the day show soon. that's one of the things lacking on FV - no day shows at all.
