Well I presume it'll start off rubbish and then get better, like ITV2, BBC Three and FTN (to a lesser extent).

There's just one space left then on Crown Castle.

For your popularity's sake, try to kick the habit.


It's only the novelty of being in contact with people who dont think i'm strange when i talk about TV. It'll wear off when i i've been here a little while.

I'd like to think that i've contributed something in most, if not all posts, so i'm not wasting posts.

Really. Oh so is SDN now as full as Pavarotti after dinner at the Ritz or can SDN still add services like Digital Radio in the future. So what 6 channels are on 64 QAM SDN then?
Five
Bid-up
QVC
TV Travel shop
Disney do dar
New Sports channel

And Radio 1- 4
Mojo
Heat
(How many more Stations can come?)

Oh yes, it is full now. Well I wonder what Crown Castle will put on then? CC won’t have any new channels until middle 2004 I think. As for the 2 left on Channel 4/ITV Mux, well there’s channel 4's, 4More channel and then the other space (Which I bet they will let ITV Buy/Use for an ITV GOLD or whatever new channel that ITV will want in the future). All in All, DTT looks good if all goes to plan.

Don’t worry Fraser (Nice name BTW Very Happy ), Everyone still likes you at the Mo. If you don’t ask stupid questions, make arguments or keep pestering folk for BBC ONE ident music than I'm sure you’ll become one very popular member of the TV Forum Family!
You seem rather cleaver, so I like you!

In Wales S4C~ and S4C~2 on SDN too, I get all the channels listed above except QVC, Mojo and The Hits so that would leave just 1 space (five, bid-up.tv,S4C~,S4C~2 and TV Travel Shop already carried). Would us in Wales get both Disney's and Sentanta's channel? Surely there wouldnt be enough space?

I'm a nervous, shy sort of person so the slightest sign of conflict or smallest indication of disagreement i panic and think everyone hates me! Embarassed Stupid I know, but can't change me Very Happy

Thats not touching on the fact that i've made over 20 posts in 3 days, they're nearly all informative (i think) but i thought someone might think i'm abusing the service when i'm actually just expressing my view and discussing it.

But I'll leave that subject now.

I expect you'll actually find that a few of the louder, apparently confident members of TVF are quite similar in real life...

Anyway, back on Topic. So, as this will not be a Disney Branded channel, I wonder what it will be called? Probably some C*** 3 letter name!

Where have you seen this? I've only seen these shows in articles on various websites as being possible or suggested shows for the channel.

Corin has a knack of taking speculation and making it seem as if it's solid fact.

I guess I fell into the trap of believing that the article at The Hollywood Reporter

Sources say the new U.K. Disney-owned channel will carry programming from Disney's ABC in the United States -- including such daytime dramas as "All My Children" and "General Hospital."


was not just speculation and not using fake sources.
