called "BT EXTRA 1" when our sources tune in it's say "CHANNEL COMING SOON".

AMC perhaps? SD version may be part of the deal with HD only for BT customers

In addition to BT Sport Europe HD, we have added more HD channels including Nat Geo Wild HD and Lifestyle HD.

Think I'm going to have get a new TV mag - Total TV (cheap) doesn't even acknowledge that BT exists, the channels are there (with the exception of Europe) but channel numbers are for Sky & VM and Freeview/Freesat. Gave up on RT years ago, ironically because it was full of chitchat & recipes, might have to revisit.

Thank you gents, I've already bought this week's Total but I'll give TV & Sat a go next week and checkout the online at zingzing & RT. I prefer the printed because I go through & mark the progs I want to record, then sit back & watch football all week with the recordings as filler.

Thanks I have read that too, but with Lifetime on 274, CI on 275 and no other gaps (apart from 272, which I'm guessing is for History HD?) I wonder where Lifetime HD will go when it launches?

Lifetime belongs in the entertainment section of the EPG

I pay about £10 per year for the Radio Times by always using the 12 weeks for £1 offers. Sometimes pay full price for a week or 2 before another offer appears.

I find DigiGuide great for an online TV guide, the search and reminder options are particularly worth it. Run it on Windows desktop and online guide.

I used to sub to the RT, but it got so damn expensive. So my mum very kindly for Christmas last year said she would pay the DD's for me to carry on having it.

Good one - that's probably the right price if they took the recipes out. I can get by on a spam sandwich!

My 95yo mum thinks £5 is enough to give someone at Christmas. She told me the other day that Mr Alabama was coming to visit this country but his father had rang him to say they were lighting fires in Africa so he's gone there instead. Even a fiver's looking dodgy this year.
