Well on Freeview anyway, don't know if quizcall survives on sat/cable,
but it doesn't deserve to ...

Is that +1 hour or +1 day?

I'd prefer +1 day.

Hurray, now let's get rid of all the other quiz and shopping channels and
free up the bandwidth for some decent stuff

It is 60 minutes, but 24 hours *would* be a good call, suggest it to
their duty office ...

Oh, and QuizCall still gets it's late night slot on ftn :-(

Perhaps you'd ponder on where the money's going to come from to make it?

I don't really see the point of the +1 channels. I've never used one yey -
although I agree that +24 would be much more useful.

If the +1 channels were on the major stations BBC1 - 3 ITV1 C4, they would
be more useful IMO.

+1 channels are occasionally useful to me. If I'm channel surfing, and come
across an interesting looking program, or a film halfway through, it is nice
to be able to jump back to the start (assuming it's an hour or less ago...)

Less likely to be the case on a film channel...

Sods law seems to dictate that such surfing always turns up something
half-way through on a +1 channel!

But that's what the +2 channel is then for....
