Virgin1-Launching 1st October on Freeview, Virgin Media and digital satellite

EdCov

Virgin 1 sounds really good until you look at the schedules.

They were promising a really good channel to challenge Sky One, instead it looks more like the undead FTN.

The first few days look really dire, but the following week a few programmes that might not be so bad pop up.

a couple of good programmes (criminal minds) - but DD gutted that abc1 has gone - its gone on virginmedia tv too - she LOVED that channel

I won't be sad to see it go - I can practically recite every episode of 8 simple rule :rolleyes:

:cool:

First of all, FTN is being replaced with Virgin 1 on all platforms. Secondly, Street Wars is on Sky Three and not on FTN. Do you mean Street Crime UK.. if so its on Virgin 1!

Date: Tuesday 2nd October 2007 (starting in 1 day)
Time: 11:00 to 11:30 (30 minutes long)

Expect more foul mouths and shocking stunts than ever before in this special uncut version of the police clip show. Featuring actual footage of drug raids, high-speed chases and undercover vice operations.

Also the reason why there can be even more channels on Freeview is because there isn't more space on the platform and is full up. The only way a new channel can go on the platform is when it replaces a channel already there,

Plenty of shopping channels to get rid of.

Not QVC thats quite a good one.

And Nuts Tv should go immediately. What a waste!

It could have been good.

why can't we have extra channels on Freeview?

When analogue is switched off there will be more bandwidth for DTV.

I am unsure that there will be a lot of more space but there be a tiny bit more possibility for HD channels.
