    Let's hope so. :j

    I would like to see another dedicated movie channel. Both BBC and ITV have cut back on the amount of late-night movies they show during the past 5 years or so.
  • I'm sorry but the 2 new channels mentioned above "DAVE" and "VIRGIN 1" are both complete rubbish as is the other late-night "NUTS-TV" - this is dumbed-down TV for today's brain-dead 20 somethings.

    It's a disgrace that the UK HISTORY CHANNEL was taken off air at 6pm to make way for this kind of rubbish. :mad:

    Hi all, this is my first post. I regularly look at the site tho.

    History channel isn't gone. All you need to do is retune your tv and you'll get it back. ;) - sorry if this has already been said.
  • Dave is great, repeats of Top Gear, Red Dwarf, Never Mind the Buzzcocks. I personally think it is a good channel
  • My eleven year old son is car mad and his fave tv show is Top Gear, so he is an avid "Dave" viewer! I agree with the other person who said that NUTS is rubbish, why give it airtime? Every time I turn over to Virgin1 they are showing that "The Riches" programme,I think Virgin1 is pretty disappointing, I hope we get some new (quality0 channels soon.
    what goes around, comes around...........

    I think Virgin 1 should get better next year. By time they had announced they would launch it many of the good American programs had already be brought by other channels. Next year they will have a chance to get in early to buy better programmes.

    He soon became an "avid" fan, it only started on Freeview on 1st December :D

    It will be interesting to see what freeview (and sky for that matter) do when freesat - https://www.freesat.co.uk - is launched next year.
