Channel one(was Virgin one) going

[telecat]

As expected SKY has decided that Channel One is too like Sky three(??) and will be replaced on Freeview by a Game show channel. Now the official line is that the programs will transfer to SKY Three. However "Chuck" nos appears to have moved to "Living" not available to Freeview viewers. Thanks a lot OFCOM.

I can't say I watch a lot of stuff on it, pretty much only Star Trek, however it certainly will be a loss to Freeview

Current view is January/February 2011. "Chuck" should have started it's fourth series on Channel One next week but it has been moved to "Living".

Chuck is superb!

S4 has started in the states (you can find it online).

I've just ordered S1 and S2 on DVD from play.com (£8.99/£11.99 IIRC)...

Agreed, a stunning start to the new season! In fact I believe episode 2 may be waiting for me to download right now!

ETA

No refs to torrents please.

They've just arrived at my desk! I haven't seen S1 yet (we only started watching S2 when it was shown last year) so looking forward to a marathon session.

Oh b***er... I hate the idea of sky dominating so I don't want to buy it... Am I going to be forced to by a lack of watchable/bearable TV on the free channels (and no I don't count the BBC in that!).

WHAT?!?!?

You can't scrap Bravo - it's the 2nd best channel out there (1#=Dave and #3=Discovery)

I didn't mind paying for SKY when you didn't get ads. as soon as you had to pay and put up with ads it went and I haven't gone back.

Bravo? Wow, that's an end of an era for me. I used to watch it every day when I got home from school in the mid 90's. I'd record Tour of Duty on my VHS (with timer that used to wake me up at 11 when it started clicking and clunking) and watch that and knightmare on Sci-Fi channel when I got home.

And My Secret Identity.

Bravo: "Wednesday night action, Thursday night horror, Friday night banned" or something like that. Oh happy days.

Can you get any copies of old scheduling from the 90's? I'd love a bit of memorobilia if possible!

I have never paid to watch TV in my life and I don't intend to start now. The Murdock corporation are trying to control all Pay TV. until they have an actual monopoly and it looks as though this coalition government are going to help him. Of course they don't want you to watch channel one and its programmes unless you pay. It's time Virgin and some of the others stopped this monolopy by putting on more science fiction and other interesting supernatural drama's on the preview channels. WAKE UP preview and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
