New programmes

Are Top Up TV going to show brand new programmes or launch a new provider next month, as they seem to be ensuring that a number of programmes finish by the end of the month. The one I noticed the most was Chuck, where they are showing quite a few episodes next week. On the programmes page of their website, four out of the five end at the end of this month.

Just checked up on the next 8 days of downloads from "Good Food / UKTV Food" and there appears to be none scheduled!!! Could it be a mistake or could this be part of some forthcoming changes?

For the past few weeks (really since the EPG reorgsnisation), I frequently receive messages telling me that certain UKTV Food programmes (Market Kitchen especially) have failed to record; the strange thing is that the majority are present and available to watch.

This phenomenon only seems to happen on the UKTV Food channel.

The VOD schedule appears to be empty for the next 8 days! UKTV Good Food is also empty. Could these both, be closing and being replace by something else?

ESPN promotional download has also been missing for the last few weeks.

I have just spoken to TopUp TV customer services and they have confirmed British Eurosport & UKTV Good Food are closing down to be replaced by new content. They would not reveal what this may be!

perhaps ITV and Channel 4 content.

we already got recycled BBC content with TUTV

I like watching some of the BBC content as I haven't seen much of it before.
The days that shook the world documentary series is great and I have watched those prgrammes for the first time even though I appreciate that they will have been on at other times on the BBC.And there are others.

The reason Top Up TV linked up with the BBC is that there were complaints that the content had become top heavy with US content.
So it made sense to link up with probably the biggest producer of TV in the UK.

I see this as a bonus as I never watch programmes from those providers anyway - ESPN gives me enough sport to keep me happy, and there are enough cookery progammes on TV as it is.

It would make more sense to have ESPN Classic on the download.

I agree with this....I have watched quite abit from the BBC content. At the moment I have the first 3 episodes of Life on Mars saved to watch when I get chance, as I had never watched them before....looks liek it's around the £10 mark as a boxset, so it's a bargain on TUTV

Freeing up space for Pick Of the Week maybe hmmm - I should hope NOT!!

Both Lozenges have been removed today.

any one know when the new channels start and what they are would be nice if its fx and bravo.

Well...

>My subscription Direct Debit increased without an e-mail or letter in advance
>UKTV Food and Eurosport were removed silently (no message popped up on box as usually happens when channels are removed/added)
>To date no new content providers added to replace the two removed. Wouldn't call 'Pick Of The Week' new content as it's just programming being grabbed from Freeview.
>All TUTV seem to be bragging about on their website is the launch of Sky Sports (of no interest to me as not into sport)

So bearing that in mind and my new opportunity to do it that's me off to 'the dark side'
