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.

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

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.

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.

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/.

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

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

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.
