ITV2 +1 and ITV3 +1 to launch later this month

I worked in a BT Cellnet call centre 6 years ago, I was reminded of the staff internet facilities for use at breaktimes by the
team manager. while I was looking at a Yahoo Clubs site during a quiet period and got an official verbal warning for it!

I can also get 'audio feeds' of all the BBC channels TV channels aswell (I can listen to on headphones) the others listen to sport's stuff and that doesn't interest me so its so I'm allowed to listen to PMQ'S and other poltical bits (eg party conference speeches etc) to make it fair. My job is admin based tho not much 'phone work' involved.

Back on topic: It's just a personal thing but Ive never seen the point of +1 channel at all personally. Well if were on channels were it would be useful like BBC1,2, ITV and C4 then yeah otherwise not.

What EPG numbers will these channels go on?? The lower end where ITV2 and 3 are is very full, no room for +1's. Looks like they will be at the end of the 200's next to the new Five channels.?

Any thoughts?

Why can't they do a 24 hour ITV2+1 channel? I don't see why they are leaving ITV4 out - is it an admission that the channel is useless?

It's absolutely pointless, but it does solve the problem of having The Mint or whatever on an hour later. I have a feeling that's probably why.

Plus I think they need to work harder at getting an audience for ITV4 before launching a +1 channel, at least ITV2 and ITV3 are more established.

What is the point, ITV 2 repeats thing all the time. Ant and Dec Saturday Night takeaway it on ITV about 3 time on a Sunday. No point! I think its a complete waste of time.

+ one channels are handy on the odd occasion but a bit of a waste overall I think.

ITV do those now?My god there are tons of them now.
Well if I guess its handy for people who missed something then Why not?

it's a total waste of transponder space. they really are stupid at itv plc!

Channel 4 has done +1 channels, and UKTV have got 100s of them. Sky technically do them with their movies channels

No they don't, all Sky Movie channels are played out live, not timeshifted. It's just some movies are scheduled an hour later or so on (normally) the HD channels. I think the only two not played out on it's own are Movies 9 + 10, which I think are downscaled versions of their HD equivilents.

What a waste again, instead of focusing on ITV1 they lauch timeshift channels arrrrggggggggggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
