ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Well firstly, well done to NTL for changing the EPG names so quickly!

Secondly, there appears to be a mistake, though. At the moment, when you tune to UK Horizons +1's old channel, the EPG says UKTV People, but the DOG on screen is indicating it is UKTV Documentary +1...

(And on an unrelated topic, could you get the EPG people to rename the Century radio channel as the correct name for the version on cable and Sky is Century Digital, not Century FM).

Thanks.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Old UK Horizons +1 will be UKTV People - although I think that People doesn't actually start broadcasting until 7pm tonight, so it could be that what is currently showing is a barker for all of the new channels. What actually is the DOG on screen?!

I'll take a look at the Century naming.

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

You don't know what a DOG is?!

The DOG is the logo in the top left corner - (Digitally Originated Graphic I think it's called)... And this is saying UKTV Documentary +1 at the moment, so it looks as though NTL are broadcasting UKTV Documentary +1 on UKTV People's place in the EPG.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Well people around here just call it a logo! I'll check it out but I think it will swap over at the correct time.
Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Is it also possable to change the channel names in the favorites list?
UKTV People and Documentary are still called UKHorizons on it.
The faves list doesnt see to get updated at the same time as the EPG.

Most of the channel names in the favourites list are the old ones, like the movie channels are still listed as Sky Prem and Moviemax.

Cheers in advance/.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Hi

This is unfortunately a feature of the Bromley EPG -we are not able to change the names in it without affecting channel listings information, so the names do not get changed. This will be fixed with the next software download to the Bromley platform (no dates available for this yet).

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

We've lost daytime programs then it seems. Horizon used to be on all day, now the new channels start at 7pm.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Ah thought there had to be a technical reason. Thanks for the reply.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

No, just for today for their 'launch'. UKTV Documentary will usually start at 9.00am but today it doesn't start until 18.00. UKTV People will always start at 19.00.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

I've just had a look at digiguide and it shows the channels on all day, its just for tonight they start at 7

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Well there you go Sam, you learn something new every day!

Thanks for looking into these matters.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Nice one thanks :)

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

This has been checked and we are picking up the correct UKTV People feed on this channel, but as it doesn't launch until 19.00, UKTV are currently running a promotional tape of some kind which must have been what you saw. This channel should be set up fine for the launch tonight.

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Are Ex-Videotron customers included in the new Bromley download or are we just going to have to put up and shut up for the next 3+ years like we've already been doing?

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Any download to you would be done separately to the one to the rest of the Bromley customers I believe, as you are coming from a different starting point and so couldn't be included in the same one. I'm afraid I'm not able to give any timescales for either.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Cheers Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Thanks again, Sam.

Maybe they are just testing something and had the UK Documentary +1 DOG up by mistake... Seems to be just a blank screen on there now.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

TVTS Extra needs to be renamed to TV Travel Shop 2 and UKTV Style + needs to be renamed to UKTV Style +1.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

UKTV Style + is the correct name for the channel - it's not actually called +1. Don't ask me why!

TVTS Extra was changed from 2 a few months back. There was some confusion at the time over which was the correct name, but I think that is right.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

The logo says UKTV Style +1, so the EPG should match. TVTS Extra has changed back to TV Travel Shop 2. The logo says TV Travel Shop 2, so the EPG should match.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

That's interesting. We were told of the name changes and told it was UKTV Style + as it was before - no 1! I'll check it out.

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Thanks Sam.

Edit: Will the channel names for TV Travel Shop 2 And UKTV Style +1 be changed?

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Sky's epg also shows as Style+ but dog does indeed say Style +1.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Flextech have confirmed that Style+ did change to Style+1 as part of the rebrand. We will change it on our listings, but I don't know when as yet.

TVTS 1/Extra - I've asked for clarification from the channel and if it is wrong we will change it.

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Thanks.

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

TV Travel Shop 2 did change its name to TV Travel Shop Extra - but it has now gone back to TV Travel Shop 2

UKTV People
 

Nothing here, I just get the 'This channel is currently off air Please try later' message - the epg is giving the right channel info and UK Documentary is working - just no UKTV People !

Anyone else getting this ?

Thanks

Ian

Re: [Merged] UKTV People
 

Sorry mate, they know what the problem is but fixing it is going to take some time. No estimate yet.

Re: [Merged] UKTV People
 

It's not on here in Stoke.

Can't ntl: get anything right?

Re: [Merged] UKTV People
 

damn, surely it only replaced the existing channel and they got one of them working - I'm not impressed :(

Lets hope it doesn't take long.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Ian

Re: [Merged] UKTV People
 

Its from a different satellite transponder and has different broadcast hours so it wasn't a straightforward one for one replacement.

Sorry for the delay, Its on now.

Re: [Merged] UKTV People
 

ok,thanks

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Actually, we have had confirmation that the name should be shown as Century Radio. I'm putting a request in to get it changed.

Cheers
Sam

Re: ATTN Sam B: New UKTV Channels
 

Century Digital...Century Radio... same thing! I think I've heard it being called both.

But thanks for the news anyway, Sam... have a lollipop and go to the top of the class!
