NEW EPG positions for the BBC

johnnyq · 16-06-2003 9:18pm #1

According to mediabullet:
BBC Three and BBC Four are set to move to new EPG positions next week. From Monday the 23rd, BBC Three can be found on 115 with BBC Four on 116.

Could this be got to do with to do with the new agreement?

I'm sure it does have something to do with the new agreement.

The radio section will also be seeing some changes soon.

?

I bet the other channels will be píssed by this queue jumping. I'd be sceptical....

I believe that originally the Disney Channel was on 115.

Sky could really do with a proper reshuffle of all the entertainment channels.

it is all happening on Wednesday

what are the chances of the FTA BBC radio channels appearing on our EPG on Wednesday

DMC · 16-06-2003 10:39pm

Aye, it is happening, confirmed elsewhere... (MHP)

And I was wrecking me head as to what was there on 115 before, and yes, the Disney Channel before it went off to oblivion in the kiddies section.

There were voiceovers on the end of a couple of BBC TWO programmes last night, mentioning the change. I wonder what they'll do with 160/161/162?

BBC ONE NI, Wales and Scotland?? An idea anyway.

What are these EPG channels? I have BBC1 & 2 on 214 and 215. Do other people have different ones?

ShaneOC · 17-06-2003 5:24pm

In the UK BBC THREE and BBC FOUR are moving from 160 and 161 to 115 and 116.

There is quite a bit of talk about EPG placement of the BBCs at the moment but this is applicable to UK customers (or people with Free To View cards from the UK).

Yes, I thought this too. But maybe they want to keep them all together. Having said that, there is a lot of space from 160 onwards, isn't there? I think the next channel is 181, so that could give them enough room for all regions!

BBC6 Music has moved from 911 to 870, just noticed this morning. (I turned on the stereo and Radio 4 was on instead of 6 music!)

byte · 18-06-2003 7:56pm

Oh yeah, just noticed! BBC Three has moved, as has BBC Four. They're better placed on the EPG now! Only ITV2 remains amongst the obscure channels (probably where it belongs considering the rubbish on it)!

Mossy Monk · 18-06-2003 8:43pm

Radio Cymru :mad: and World Service are gone from the Irish EPG

Nice touch as regards the movement of some BBC Channels i.e. bbc3,4 and six music.

If you had them set as favourite channels and tune them by this method you go to them automatically.

Basically if you have channels set as favourites you'll always be able t o follow them!!

THats it for now folks!

Radio Cymru - that doesn't matter too much - but the World Service - surely this goes against what the World Service is for?

Radio Cymru was handy because it meant keying in 904 and having 5 live at night time. my Other Channels list is constantly deleting itself and i never have more than 10 channels in there
