Why? IMO the DOG should fade in on ad breaks and disappear during programmes, not the other way around.

That said, it would be nice to see the logo breaking apart, reforming as the 4 and then flying out at the start of each break instead of a simple fade.

I'm rather confused. Earlier +1 was showing Richard ad Judy at about 5:10 when it should've been just finishing Countdown. However I've just watched The Simpsons on +1 which started correctly at 7pm.

No, R&J is 5-6pm on C4. I've just watched the Simpsons on +1 too, cos that was quite a good episode

I know but what I'm saying is R&J was on Channel 4 and 4+1 at the same time, but I think +1 was behind by a few minutes.

There is currently a message on now just like you get on the Channel 4 Simulcast on the internet but with the +1 logo on the right instead saying that they are unable to show the current programme. Probably because of the film that is showing! (The Tall Men)

More4 +1 has disappeared from Virgin Ch 143 now, it's displaying a caption saying Channel 4 +1 will appear from Monday, and

.."It's like Channel 4, but an hour later!"

Not on ex-Telewest, Merseyside Confused

Probably because More 4+1 never made it to ex-TW areas, so will just launch on monday straight off

But they did do something like that when More4 launched, back on Telewest. Shame really.

I hope they do this with the other channels.

Dunno - I wonder though: E4+1 has the "good" feed in terms of quality - and Film4's main slot is on MuxD, which is has the least coverage of all six muxes, IIRC (certainly, it's marginal for me since it's "out-of-group", and that's apparently a widespread problem). Film4+1, while a relatively poor-quality stream, has far wider reception since it's on Mux2 with C4, E4 and More4.

I've noticed that too: Film4 on Mux D and Film4+1 on Mux 2. Why don't they swap them around - put Film4 on Mux 2 and Film4+1 on Mux D? Then C4+1 could replace the Film4+1 slot on Mux D.

AIUI the picture quality on the stream they use on Mux D is better than that on Mux 2, and so is more suited to a film channel. Mux 2's picture quality is generally a bit rubbish.
