Info & Chat On New TV Channels & Shows (Non-babe)

Mr anderson as your post did not have reference to the channel number I have posted this post.

UKTV have said Really will be on channel 20 when it launches

See the official UKTV press release. http://uktv.co.uk/network/item/aid/645227

This is good news though the less +1 channels freeview has the better IMO

JML Cookshop has now been renamed as Argos TV on channel 642.

JML Choice has now been renamed as JML Cookshop on channel 667

So it looks like its JML Choice thats closed to make room for argos TV

Freeview channel guide - retune required 30/06/11?

Even though the Freeview channel guide, may not be the best official source, as there are number of inaccuracies, they do however indicate to retune on 30th June to continue watching Dave Ja Vu.

However, I do think this is a mistake, but I could be wrong, but it was required to do a retune on 30/06/10 to continue watching Dave Ja Vu as it moved from Mux D to Mux C.

The other mistakes are ITV2+1 on LCN 33, which by 1st April 2011 (where this guide is dated from) has already moved in January to LCN 27; strangely suggests it to be on LCN 27 before switchover, so a move to LCN 33 after switchover?

Wales 06:00 to 19:00 is noted by *** but to no channel; however, we know that should be attached to Challenge - I wonder it was attached to Channel One - that's been removed correctly, but so has the appending note?

Sky Three and Sky Three +1 are still included even though the Pick TV logo is displayed on the 1st page. Shockingly still, despite closing on 1st February 2010, Lottery Xtra is still on the list.

Seemingly, this is a case of copy and paste for most things from Spring 2010, but additions such as Challenge and Capital FM and Channel 5, Five*, 5USA logos and CNN has been removed - despite the placeholder still being available.

Its incorrect. You can clearly see they have took the old guide and made slight changes and failed to take the information out. The DAVE Ja vu retune was last year and can not see them moving dave ja vu to another MUX when it closes soon. If it was too move MUX they would do it when they take dave ja vu down and put really on

That freeview guide is littered with loads of errors as well, a lot of channels still list old broadcast hours I would take anything in that guide with a pinch of salt.

Gems tv are changing there broadcast hours tomorrow to 24 hours.

So this means the timeshare with quest is been vacated by the look of things. Who gets the vacated space who knows?
