1262017 2012-04-22 06:25:00 They are now showing samples of show.

Only the weekends seem interesting so far, with General entertainment. The rest is all home and lifestyle, food tv crap.

Just what we need - more cooking programs. :yuck:

1262019 2012-04-22 14:08:00 The only promising looking show is Penn & Teller. But I can probably see that on the net right now.

At the moment, the picture quality of the Channel is apalling. I've seen better looking low res youtube videos. They say they are onto fixing that.

Here's their facebook: www.facebook.com which shows pictures of their offices, which look skint, especially the picture of the broadcast suite, which just looks like a bunch of desktop pc's

1262021 2012-04-22 22:14:00 I doubt I'll watch it, but having choices is good. So far freeview has added nothing to my viewing choices, none of the new channels interest me at all.
I wish they'd add some actual variety to the channels though. They seem to target one of a few specific audience groups and ignore everything else.

I don't watch soap operas or dramas, I don't like reality TV or sports, Endless re-runs of tired old US comedies annoy the hell out of me. How much actual viewing does that leave me?

1262022 2012-04-23 00:45:00 The only stuff I honestly watch on tv is Sky's Crime Investigation Network, and on Wednesday's I watch Are You Being Served and 2 episodes of On The Buses on Comedy Central.
Now if freeview played that sorta stuff, I would be in heaven.
