Virgin 1 on Freeview
Is Virgin 1 only showing during restricted hours?
A couple of days ago I set my Toppy to record (from the EPG) the first DS9 episode at 15:00 today. The recording is totally blank. Currently (17:40) the EPG and 'whats on now' show 'The fresh prince of bel air' but the video shows "We'll see you at 6pm". Is this a one-off or is Virgin 1 not going tom start on freeview until 18:00 and if so why does the EPG show programming throughout the whole 24 hours?

Is this a one-off or is Virgin 1 not going tom start on freeview until 18:00 and if so why does the EPG show programming throughout the whole 24 hours? Just because the programmes are not transmitted on Freeview does not mean they do not exist.

No, but if the EPG is transmitted on Freeview it should be what the computer types call 'context sensitive'.

EPG is currently showing 24 hour programming, but it is 18:00 to 6:00 on
Freeview, as ftn was that it replaces. Apparently there was an EPG glitch with abc1 when it launched, so expect it to be fixed soon. "Graham Murray" wrote in message ...
