Looks like they're still having problems with the DOG - one ad break after I posted above about the DOG being fixed, since then it's back to 4:3 squished.

Seems a bit daft that Channel 4 itself will be airing a repeat of tonight's 24 Hours in A&E tomorrow night at 10. Especially since 4Seven will be repeating it tomorrow night at 9. Oh and Gordon Behind Bars will be repeated tomorrow on C4 at 11 as well as at 10 on 4Seven. You'd think 4Seven would perhaps reduce the need for such primetime repeats on C4 but clearly not in this case.

Yes, there's some very odd scheduling. I just caught the end of Undercover Boss on 4Seven and then turned over to Channel 4 to see the end of Undercover Boss.

It'll be on Channel 4+1 in a bit too!

How come there's two channel's? Well firstly they made +1 then they made this so that's so lucky to C4

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Have we seen any more idents yet, or is it just the pool and allotment version they're using - although the intros I saw (haven't watched since launch night) were Twitter comments rather than idents.

As this thread is back - and three months in - whilst not a regular viewer, what evidence is there that it is a social media driven service?!

Not that impressed by that ident - bit of a mess and very difficult to see the logo. And can't say I've watched 4seven once since it launched, though as I said at the time a repeats channel based on a channel which is seriously underperforming at the moment and struggling at virtually all points in the schedule was never going to appeal, especially at a time when C4 is repeating more and more of it's own content within a couple of days anyway.

It's as clear as some of the regular Channel 4 idents.

What a mess. Some of the later Channel 4 idents just aren't easy to see like some of the earlier ones.

I think the 4 is distinctive enough though for people to spot, even if they don't the first time they see the ident. Although obviously derived from the C4 logo, the 4seven logo isn't so well known that it can effectively be hidden in it's idents - and regardless of that argument this ident just isn't very good compared to the allotment and pool idents.
