I switched it on my freeview box at work today to watch the promo reel they were supposed to be running - I only got audio. I hope that's just them and not my box unable to pick it up properly.

I did a retune just in case.

Just checked now and have the transmission on Channel 8 on the Bromley platform here in cloudy downtown Manchester South.

Be interesting to see what it's like once the actual programmes start at 9pm tonight.

and i think everyone will agree when i say , the programs for a launch night are very poor.

Same here. There's at least 2 programmes tonight that my parents will tune to ITV3 for.

yes, the programs are very good, but for a launch night? .... maybe a movie premier would have been a bit better

Re: [Merged] ITV3-coming to ntl??
 
why would they want to broadcast something on opening night that will not normally be shown?!?!

seems pointless as there is enough intrest in the channel without having to do that

Re: [Merged] ITV3-coming to ntl??
 
But they will be showing films (though not premieres)! Midnight tonight, for example, is "In the Heat of the Night", and at 9pm on Friday, there's "Father of the Bride".

Seems Granada Plus has been given the bullet to make way for it on Sky.

Seems a very sudden shutdown.

Ok so I was checking a program for the missus just now and itv3 was listen on sky channel 119

I thought sky weren't getting it 'till next year?

Looks like ITV have shut down G+ to take it's EPG position on Sky.

So much for the exclusively on Freeview then exclusively on Freeview and Digital Cable advertising. It was nice of them to give everyone some advance notice.

Re: [Merged] ITV3-coming to ntl??
 
So thats why they stopped showing the trailer earlier on - it always referred to the freeview/cable exclusivity!
