Well as ITV slate on the channel says

'exclusive to freeview and digital cable'.

Which is gramatically correct, but as a value statement it's worth very little unless the channel has content you would actually want to watch. I find little enough to interest me on ITV1, virtually nothing on ITV2 and so by the law of diminishing returns I predict absolutely nothing of any consequence on ITV3.

the comments above were that they should push the exclusive bit, as in ntl should but ntl can't because its not exclusive to them!!

which is also grammatically correct ... so the right answer is, 'it depends on who's making the claim and how they word it!'

:spin:

I still prefer to draw attention to the fact that this channel is likely to be so chock-full of tripe that exclusivity is probably not something to shout about. Does anybody really expect $ky subscribers to come over to NTL in droves just for ITV3? ....

ntl will never make an exclusive statement which has to include freeview as it will possibly push ppl to freeview. to be honest the reason ntl aren't excited abt it and telling everyone is cos its not going to be a big crowd puller so to speak!!

Ach! who cares how many channels they have if the content is repeats,reruns,and nowt but reality shows (not my definition of reality though) and endeless detective series(I can count the number of them on feet and hands). :mad: :mad:

Anything truly innotative or interesting fails because it COSTS too much.Well gives us LESS channels and more decent content in that case. :mad:

Incog.NOT spoilt for choice. :mad:

My TiVo gave me a system message earlier in the week that ITV3 was on channel 118. Looks like they jumped the gun a little.

TiVo can never get it right.

If they are early then people say "they jumped the gun".

If they wait until launch then people say "why can't TiVo add it early so we can setup the Season Passes".


In any case - the message on you TiVo is to say "ITV3 has been added to 118 on TiVo" - not that ITV3 is now on 118 on NTL.

118 is the confirmed number for original NTL.

No but they might go to Freeview...

Hell no - but it won't stop me enjoying a little extra choice while I'm hard at work :)

Yes we might but not because they offer ITV3 I can assure you.It will be because I'm fed up with paying for a service I barely watch because there is so LITTLE DECENT CONTENT.

Incog.
