    Is it just me or has WTF's picture quality significantly improved in the last few days? Now looks better than Clubland TV.

    I just requested a song but didnt see my number pop up on screen.... i wasnt bothered though as i only had to wait 2 songs then it came on so i was quite impressed on how quick it was!

    One thing i have noticed is that the same 3 digit mobile numbers keep popping up on screen...

    Also can this channel go onto Freeview and replace 4Music please lol! As Freeview needs a channel like WTF!!! :p:D

    I just checked the lyrics and there is more swearing, I didnt catch anything else so assume it was cut.

    I noticed on Green Days Boulevard of Broken Dreams the "****" was audible..luckily as its crowd signing you cant hear it that clearly.

    Not that im complaining (we could do with a more mature attitude to swearing in this country) but how are they getting away with it? And more to the point, how do they think they are gonna continue getting away with it :confused:

    Yes, it's VERY good! Lots of stuff I haven't heard in ages and some decent current tracks. Good mix - so not boring.

    I know the channel is getting alot of praise and yes it's not bad BUT:

    They really need to look at the output of these videos. Britney Spears - Oops I did it again was playing last night with freezing frames in the picture, terrible motion blur, jerking picture. Horrible wouldn't like to see it on any music channel.

    It's running a decent bitrate but Santa has to buy them some decent encoding and output facilities for Christmas. CSC is the opposite they have a decent output but run Bliss on a "crippled" bitrate so looks as bad. A half decent output and it will output a picture similar to Q TV or NME TV.

    Worst case atleast stop videos blurring as it makes the channel unwatchable.

    I just requested Shania Twain - Gonna Getch Good and it was played within 5 mins! (Well after the ad break) :D
    Thing is though, my number 07xxx xxx136 keeps popping up... People must think i spend a fortune selecting music lol :D
    All in all, i'm very happy with the channel and the selection of music available on it, Only a few videos seem to be jumpy/blury (Even the ad breaks too which hopefully will soon get sorted!)
    If i could rate the channel out of 5 i'd give it 5 stars! :D

    Agree. I've watched it quite a bit over Christmas. (Missed Rammstein though LOL!) It reminds me a bit of Radio 2, only on the telly and a bit more daring and interesting. So far, I've got to agree - it's very good. :D

    The first set of weekly figures are in for WTF TV in December on BARB:

    0.5 Reach.

    That makes it more than NME TV. When you consider a rival type channel like Starz TV gets 1.4 I find those figures quite poor. Maybe due to low EPG slot and little promotion? Being stuck between an HD channel will affect it's figures as many won't go past it as they don't get MTVNHD.

    They do need a better EPG slot, I often won't go past MTV HD because I don't have the HD pack. The channel isn't doing bad though considering it's been a month since it's debut and it's had little promotion. Personally I'd rather see them replace the trash that is Starz, every time I flick past the latter it's always "Soz we dont have that song" or "Whats your fav footy team" or boobs on screen.

    Can't remember when it first appeared exacty but wasn't it delayed for a couple of days. Will the first figures be for less than a week?

    In any case I think this channel will be a grower. :)

    Personally I think they should have went back to the old dog. No other channel has winter dogs they do them for xmas.
