DJGM is worse . . .
He always has an ellipsis in every post . . . and he spaces them out like this . . .
But the manual
line breaks in his posts annoy me
even more . . .

Again with the trailing off Martin?
Why do you do that? It's really very patronising.

The channel numbering seems to be a problem with the current (somewhat overcrowded) Sky EPG. All channels (after the terrestrials) were always allocated a slot of three numbers. However, UKTV (and now C4) have found this to be a problem. They introduce a +1 in the second space, then a new channel in the third, and so their +1 for that channel simply has to slot in at the end of the EPG section.
eg:
UKTV G2 (111), and the +1 (256)
UKTV People (566), and the +1 (591)
UKTV Drama has a similar problem if they want a +1 (which I assume is on the cards). By slotting More4 in after E4/E4+1 (to give it a space nearer the top of the EPG) they have banished their +1 to the bottom of the Entertainment Section.
I often forget that there is a G2+1 and a People+1 because they are not adjacent. Hopefully Sky will be rectifying this with their intended renumbering later this year

Any signs of a More4+1 logo yet - Digital Spy says it's due to launch on Sky 286 (along way from More4) and NTL 167.

An eye on the ratings again - once again down, but not too surprising!
ER 52,000
Grand Designs 33,000
Death In Gaza 61,000
Rory Bremner 30,000
More4News / Daily Show / Last Word ratings not listed on channel4sales.com
Most interesting is Grand Designs seems to have lost 130,000 viewers overnight - (or it's a mis-print!)
Also worth a mention, but E4 once again betters C4 ratings with 1.3m watching first look Lost, compared to 800,000 watching Whatever Happened to the Wildchild?

Although I have no idea about what times these programmes were on, but would it be fair to say that most poeple were watching the England game last night?

Well, I'd say No, No and No on these things, but then again I never notice these little changes!

Couple of things, and 'scuse me if I'm missing something:
1. Wasn't there a new ident before the More4 News tonight?
2. Has the music for More4 News changed slightly?
3. Has the DOG become darker?
As I said, apologies if I'm missing something.

You'll usually find that there will be a few changes straight after the launch, just look at Midland Todays headline bed
I've noticed the Dog's changing sizes. It can appear really small or at times rather large, particually straight after the DSwJS.
For Idents I've not a clue. Probably more out there. Anyone else thinking v.BBC 4?

Still not sure about the idents - far too like the previous C4 set for my liking!
Ratings up last night:
1900 Grand Designs 110,000
2000 More4 News 55,000
2030 The Daily Show 75,000
2100 Touching the Void 102,000
2345 The Sopranos 34,000
Presumably from the way the site quotes the figures, The Last Word got less than 34,000 - and from what I've seen of it, it's crap - not what I was expecting!
No idea what kind of ratings the West Wing got for E4, but I imagine it's going to be one of More4's ratings bankers.
