I disagree. It's OK for those of us who are aware of the new channels, but not everyone will be. Having the EPG numbers active a few days early, even if just for a "Five US coming soonÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦" banner (like ITV3, ITV4 and abc1 did) means that people are likely to see them while browsing through the channels.

You mean you can see them listed on your NTL box? I just checked, & there's still no sign of them on mine.

Ah, right. I don't know how to access that. I guess I'll find out tonight whether it'll show up on mine or not.

Well, contrary to what was advertised on Five yesterday, Five Life is on 149.

Damn, Ozsat beat me to it.

I think Five US is going to be on 146.

Well I've got Five Life on 149 Langley but 146 shows Zone Reality are they going to change the numbers?

I don't know what I was thinking. I think it's a case of having too much blood in my caffeine circulatory system.

I don't know what number Five US is supposed to be on then. Although from having looked at it's schedule [on radiotimes site] I can't say I'm really that bothered by not knowing.

As for Five Life, the only thing that looks like it might be interesting is Angela's Eyes.

no sign of either yet...

bayonet · 15-10-2006, 09:29

They're not channels that are going to make you stay in at nights are they??

Any way for a sad old git like me any chance of getting the Golf Channel

Probably be the only one watching it but I live in hope

Life on 149 appeared today - only after a reboot.

US due to be on 148 tomorrow- so i assume another reboot needed then.

I can't understand why the numbers have been changed form the 'NTL' Radio Times nymbers (185/6)

COOPERMAN · 15-10-2006, 11:30

Everything is fine here in SE London. Channel 149 has appeared at 07:00 (that's when my STBs gets some sort of update every morning checking the events logs; although it seems to be a hour out, it says 06:00). I do get a load of 56 SDT Transport Errors: whatever they are)). No reboot was needed. There is no Ch 148, but that starts 2morrow, or Bravo 2 Ch 154.

PS I'm on the BROMLEY Network.

PPS No problems either with Paramount Comedy Channels.
