B4U music has never been on freeview i believe.

Nothing mentioned about UHD, our sources think UHD will start arriving on VM platform in 2018.
Apparantly BT stunned both SKY and VM when they launched BTsport UHD so early.

I have almost given up on linear channels as I have over 30 saved series links and only 2 are actively recording on my current schedule, does not help that series changes channels!

Never thought I would say this but Netflix blows linear channel out of the water with their original programming, New Star Trek series and they have even got Series 3 of Gotham to view, WOW!

Rumours are Netflix will have season 4 of Gotham very soon too.

What ever happened to the latest season of Sleepy Hallow for example and it annoyed me The Middle changed channels a while back and I missed a whole season as it went onto comedy central :(

The last ever season of Sleepy Hollow was shown on Syfy channel earlier this year.

Yes, I've noticed a lot lately that the programme choice on broadcast channels has become very poor in recent times. In fact, the TV & Satellite Week magazine now has a substantial number of write-ups for new programming on Netflix and Amazon.

Reading the current magazine, they have reviews of Star Trek: Discovery (Netflix); Designated Survivor (Netflix); Our Souls at Night (Netflix); Startup (Amazon); and Gerald's Game (Netflix).

The only new dramas the magazine was able to feature on the broadcast channels were The Child in Time (BBC1); The Deuce (Sky Atlantic); and Law & Order True Crime (Sky Living). That is pretty poor in my book and is indicative of the way things are going. 2016/17 was a bad year on broadcast TV - let's hope that 2017/18 is better, although I'm not holding my breath!

That's the problem with series links, Sleepy Hallow was originally on Universal :(

I am only interested in the new dramas to record, by and large, Den. If you can find any more new drama series on next week, be my guest! I'm dying to see what you come up with! Remember, I'm talking about the new series that commence next week.

Hey OB,

I use this site mate - https://www.geektown.co.uk/uk-air-dates/

Tells you when most big shows are going to be aired and on what channel. It might help you :)

Thanks, UC, but I get all my information from the TV and Satellite Week, and I am confident that this gives me comprehensive information. No matter what source you use, I can assure you, the programmes I listed in my post contain every new series starting next week on broadcast tv.

Den seems to think there are more, and so I challenged him on this. He won't find any! He disagrees with me in principle, whatever the facts! :D
