Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

i See Virgin Media Missed out again on new channels

Richard Desmond's Channel 5 has confirmed that a timeshifted channel of its main network will launch next week on terrestrial and satellite television.

According to BARB data and promotional adverts currently airing on television, Channel 5+1 will launch on Freesat, Freeview and Sky on December 6.

Electronic programme guide (EPG) numbers for the channel have not yet been announced.

The channel, which will air programmes such as CSI, Neighbours and children's show Milkshake an hour later than their scheduled start times, is expected to come to Virgin Media in early 2012.

Channel 5+1 will join the broadcaster's existing one-hour timeshifted channels of digital networks 5* and 5USA.

ITV launched a +1 channel of ITV1 in January this year, while Channel 4+1 has been broadcasting since August 2008.

The launch of Channel 5+1 will mean that BBC One and BBC Two will be the only main public service channels not to offer a timeshift network on digital TV platforms.

Last past the post again:(

Seriously? I can't believe anyone is moaning about channel5+1 :confused:

VM have a Catch Up tv service, plus carry all the other "5" group of channels.

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

And there was me thinking TiVo made +1 channels all but redundant. I guess other people still have to "catchup" to that fact, bad pun intended.

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

Totally agree.

Who honestly needs a +1 channel when you have Demand 5? :shrug:

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

And 3 Tuners :D

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

Still need a +1 when TIVO can't find any other showing of the programme you want while its already recording three other things ;)

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

I would agree on that, however Channel 5 is rubbish

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

As opposed to all the channels like Watch Paint Dry +1 that you seem to want?

Re: Channel 5+1 to launch on December 6
 

We already have Watch +1 you fool!

It will likely be on Virgin Media channel 155 to replace Current TV.

No it will take Sky Living Loves EPG

Source ?

Really considering Current TV is closing in early 2012 and is next to the other channel 5 channels. So i think it will be on channel 155.

I could be wrong.
