Noticed today that Home and Health have launched (yet another) timeshift channel. Available on EPG 155.

Do you feel that these new discovery lifestyle channels are better than what they used to be e.g. Home and Leisure/Discovery Health. I feel that these new channels are better categorised and offer more better programming, however that could just be me. We need to get more of Kim and Aggie on Home & Health - I think they are fantastic!

WHAT do you think?

I'm not sure. I prefered it before, as in my opinion the category of home fits better with leisure, rather than health. The channel of Home & Health reminds me of the BBC One daytime schedule with a bit of City Hospital and a bit of DIY.

It's obvious that the change is to increase viewers as I can imagine that the ratings for a channel about health can't be that good for a demographic.

The only thing I do like is the assonance involved now with Home & Health.

As for everything else, I mainly miss the splendid Home & Leisure Idents, compared to the real time idents, they were extrodinary.
