Today? I was watching it today, and that women said someone from Digital Spy. so was that you who she said?

Finally, to round up, As from Tomorrow, L!ve Tv will be on Sky Only? Ntl - Unlikely, Telewest - Unlikely, Freeview - As If.

Thats right is it? Yes?


Yeah it was me!

L!VE will be Sky only from tomorow, don't know about the future though, but I think NTL and Freeview are very unlikely.

I hope it is going to be like the old L!VE TV, not like Friendly TV.
Anyone if the weather will be the same?

It's like the old L!VE - most things are the same.

The weather is still read in Norwegian but this time no dwarfs.

Newsbunny and Weather are new, and more new programmes will be added eventually - but most of the shows at the moment are repeats from 1996-1999.

Taken From DigitalSpy:
News Bunny and Topless Darts are once again available on British TV - L!VE TV made its official comeback this morning.

The channel, which was once cable-exclusive, now broadcasts on digital satellite and is available on channel 274. L!VE TV has something of a cult following, with many members of the Digital Spy forums remembering the channel and its output in its previous incarnation.

A posting from L!VE on our forums promises a mix of programming from the original station and new output:

"Going through all the library material and making new programmes is already giving us a daily dose of mirth, as you'll see next week when we repeat all of my [News Bunny's] favourite moments next week in 'The Bunny Bulletin'. Also next week you'll have the chance to meet our new Norwegian meteorologist - who's name is Camilla.

"The channel will initially... rely heavily on the library, but new formats and short items will appear as the months roll on. The best thing we ever piloted at the original Live TV was a stuttering newsreader, but it was considered too funny to broadcast - this time we'll have no hesitiation."

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I see they have a new site:

Nice to see back a channel that can laugh at itself - with the likes of FriendyTV it is also a very long way from being "Britain's Cheapest/(or lowest budget) TV Channel"

edit: OMG Strip Masterbrain - that is a cool show. The musical theme is pretty nice too. I wonder if they'll bring back those cheesy softcore porn films again? The 3D ones were certainly interesting....

That is an amazing Intro message on the Website, L!VE IS BACK!!!

Imagine this scrolling in space with the Star Wars theme running!!

The Story so Far...

In November 1999, the Evil Empire (cable companies) conspired to deprive the good people of the United Kingdom of the best thing that ever happened to them - L!VE TV.

Interestingly since that time, the dotcom bust, world terrorism, war in Iraw and the decline in birth-rate are all directly attributable to the sickening loss og L!VE TV. Needless to say all the cablre companiers are broke and on their collective arse.

Anyway now the bunny is back - and he's brought all his mates with him - for more merriment and mayhem than you can shake a dwarf at. And we're all happy and in love with our new best friends at Sky on Channel 274. And it's free!!!

For God's sake if you missed out last time, don't be a fool this time round, get a bloddy dish (they now come in designer coloures too).

Now hit the menu fella.

Have you seen part of their description of one of their programmes "Indecent Proposals"

( "Wudja Cudja" on ITV is a direct rip off of our idea - really )

Their words not mine!

Has anyone notice that L!VE TV has an analogue teletext service? And very good it looks too.
