PBS UK: First impressions
 

Sure i read somewhere this is Americas equivalent to the bbc so what do you think of it so far saw a show call rough cut about woodworking the guy was making a trestle table wasn't to bad.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Yes l saw the first part of the prohibition series and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

I'm a big fan of the PBS output, especially the American Experience series and the Ken Burns docu's, looking forward to seeing Prohinition and I hope they show some of his previous programs such as Civil War (brilliant!!), Baseball and The West.

Personally I'm delighted with this addition.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

A really good addition to the Virgin Media channel line-up. I enjoyed Prohibition.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

I'm looking forward to "Special When Lit", a programme about the history of pinball.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Had a look at the line up last night, absolutely zero here of any interest to me.

I'd rather be watching a certain award winning drama about the prohibition era than a documentary about it :)

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

The picture quality, and the in particular the low quality sound puts me off this channel. I get better picture on catchup. They really have squeezed this one in..

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Yep totally agree its the same on satellite , I dont like SD but this doesn't even qualify as good SD.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Yes, I noticed that I could barely read the end credits on a programme last night.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

It'll probably become one of my more watched channels, hopefully they can sort the PQ out soon.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

I did not think you were that old Chad:D:D:D:D

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

From what I can see there are going to be a number of programmes which I shall watching, But as others have said the PQ leaves a lot to be desired.

However for me the EPG for PBS is completely devoid of any programme information, it merely says To Be Announced. Am I alone on this or have VM launched the channel with an empty EPG?

I think it's a known issue for customers on the new software only. I'll check tomorrow, but I did see something about it. :)

It's all ok for other TiVo customers.

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Thanks for that DF. Hopefully you will be able to get back to us tomorrow as to approximately when a fix might be implemented.

If PBS was a centre forward it would be Giorgios Samaras:(

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

i saw the advert for that and it looked brill, when is it on?

Re: Pbs First impressions
 

Thanks for your update SP, much appreciated.

For anyone else running V15.2 and is interested in this channel, then PBS have their schedule on-line which we can use until the fault is corrected.

Re: PBS UK: First impressions
 

I've watched quite a bit, watching the 3rd ep of prohibition now.

I think the PQ on antiques roadshow is all down to the way it was filmed, the PQ on the prog i'm watching now seems ok??

Re: PBS UK: First impressions
 

There seems to be something wrong with the PBS schedule today, it's out by an hour.

According to the EPG, PBS NewsHour should be on since 13:10 followed by History Detectives. However, History Detectives is on now although I don't think it's the episode scheduled for 14:10 this afternoon. I'll post again in 15 mins. when the next programme has started.

AFAIK, Daylight Saving Time in the US changed on 6th November so it is unlikely to be related to that! ;)

---------- Post added at 14:26 ---------- Previous post was at 14:00 ----------

Well we seem to be back on track with the scheduled episode of History Detectives on now. I wonder what happened to PBS NewsHour or was that a scheduling error and we were supposed to have a double bill of History Detectives all along?
