OK ideas for a new channel.
Out takes channel. We could then rid the other channels of these shows.

Money channel. Financial advice of an up to the minute nature. If we
actually trusted it that is.

A channel that ran local news in segments from around the country at
predetermined times on the network so people could keep up to date and see
what was an issue in other areas.

You get local businesses to advertise in each section.

How about a signed channel? That way, you keep people that need signed
channels happy, by not limiting content to the middle of the night and
you keep other people happy by not spoiling programmes with a signer in
the corner.

Could broadcasters not come up with a new channel?

No. There is nowehere near enough good material for the existing number
of channels.

I occasionally find a use for a +1 channel when recording using a twin tuner
PVR. Sometimes there are three programmes I want to record at the same time.
If one is repeated on a +1 channel - problem solved.

As far as I am concerned, any channel+1 on freeviw is a waste of
valuable space.

What else would you put there? That cost as little?

Nothing. Increase the bitrate of the worthwhile channels.

But they could do that to more effect by getting rid of the sports
channels. At least the +1 services have some use.

+24. If you happen to miss/forget a programme, you will usually find that
you've missed it by more than an hour. But put it on the same time of day,
exactly 24 hours later, and there's a good chance you'll remember to watch.

BBC announcement:

The World will End at midnight GMT on Wednesday.
Watch the very special Jools Holland Hootenanny on BBC2
starting at 9 pm.

(It will be repeated on the BBC2 +24 channel)

Wonder if there is some contractual thing - one having to be paid for as a
repeat while the +1 comes under a cheaper rule?
