Now up and running!

926 England
927 Scotland
928 NI
929 Wales

Now we in England get to see whether Scotland, NI and/or Wales still do this telly lark properly... our bunch certainly don't.

They have the EPGs mixed up though- Scotland has Wales' schedule, NI has Scotland's and Wales has NI's

Bl**dy H*ll NTL have done something decent

Do you think we could lobby for the ITV regions?

Its worth a try.

Re: EPG - is it only my area that seems to have f-ed up pretty bad ? The browse function just isn't working.

Ohwell, back on track - we still havn't got them. I'm not missing much I suppose.

I think I just rebooted my box, either way, the browse function works and i get all the bbc one regions all televising the same thing. Fab.

There you go, you can have you topic back. . .

Well it's nice to have I suppose. My EPG is screwed as well, I've rebooted the box and all that, but it still doesn't give me any programme info, or scroll through the rest of the days listings.

I hate it when this happens, it irritates the hell out of me. Embarassed

EDIT: I tell a lie it came back.

I see what everyone menas when they talk about that pile of crap River City. I'm sure the Scots would much more appreciate Holby.

It was nice to see thiese channels added today, it gets a good chance to see other BBC Regions, though so far I've only watched news about the London Underground on BBC One England/ LDN, a bit of the weather on Wales Today, from a guy who looks drunk and a bit of Reporting Scotland, which isn't bad. But one thing so far which I've noticed that the Nations opting out seems to go far more smoothly, though I assume the Nations get their own feed. I too noticed that BBC NI opted out at 11am to show a special Newsline. BTW Why does the 6.30pm Newsline have a DOG in the top left corner?

Basically cause UTV Live do, and seeing as UTV Live are the only ITV regional news bulitten to beat (by a long way) their BBC counterpart in the ratings, BBC Newsline have to try to out-do UTV Live at everything. This includes always referring to Newsline as "BBC Newsline"...

Do you meant beat at all or beat by a long way(the brackets seem to imply you mean beat at all)? North East tonight beats Look North (NE&C) in the ratings.

Slightly irrelevant but all Tyne Tees news bulletins had a dog when they relaunched in 2000 (they were removed soon after).
