    I do know that TruTV had to have something live for the 24th for a minimum of 2hrs/day, not sure who's slot they've acquired though. I am also not aware if there's a TruTV+1 planned, it has been mooted to happen but as of yet unknown (possibly using Boomerang+1).

    Remind me folks, when does the reshuffle take place?

    Wasn't it mentioned previously that they purchased one of the former PriceDrop/Bid slots?

    Surely though the 30/31 day rule would have meant they'd purchased something that had come off the EPG around the end of June and can't think what that could be?

    What the hell is doing up there at that position?? It's an entrainment channel / not a documentary channel.

    Hmm, "World's Dumbest Hillbillies" sounds only marginally worse than most of the content on Discovery and History now.

    There's a truTV+1 licence for terrestrial, but not currently for cable/satellite.

    You'd have thought it would be the other way around, unless they plan on timesharing with some capacity used for someone else on DTT?

    Cheers Digi Man, I knew there was a date mentioned previously, couldn't remember what it was.

    Well Turner purchased one of the slots, along with the recently launched shopping channel (which launched this week too)

    It'd be nice to see Turner put out some of the Adult Swim comedy/animation on truTV, but don't know if that's immediately likely. As to the EPG, I'd assumed (as many of us did) it'd be up in entertainment/lifestyle with similar channels like CBS Reality, Really, Sky LivingIt...

    Would be good, they've got Conan so maybe they will show it after that?

    Regards the EPG slot it will probably get moved down with the reshuffle next month, at the moment there's no room
