Challenge +1

Just did a search and came up with nothing so decided to start a thread.

Have just seen a trailer (during Bullseye) that Challenge +1 will start on December 3rd on Channel 122.

You can't beat a double bit of Bully!

The trailer said it will only be on Sky Digital (hence I have put it in this forum).

    WHY?????
    Before much longer there is going to be a +1 hour of every channel!
    What is the point?
    We have Sky+ and video recorders!

    Yeah but then sky couldn't say "look we have 300 channels".. infact they don't have but they do if you count all the box office, +1 and international channels.... Sky have 14 channels, the rest are nothing to do with them ;)

    you can't include sky customer channel and sky welcome channel. they're just for new people and not channels you would just sit down and relax infront of.

    Dont see the need for a +1 for this channel, its not like they show most of it over and over again is it.

    That's how many I count as channels. The rest are just mixed up versions of the same thing.

    We've said this before a number of times. I am sick and tired of pointless +1s appearing all over the EPG.

    I thought we were scraping the barrel with UKTV G2+1 - but Challenge +1?! Please - not the same crap an hour later!!!

    All of these +1 hour channels are just using up space on the EPG!
    There are people up and down the country who cant get their own ITV1 sub-region because there isnt enough space on the EPG,
    I wonder why??

    Thats a load of rubbish. Some people cant get there sub regions yet because ITV haven't made them available Via Sky Digital, whether it be on the EPG or through the other channels option. :rolleyes:

    sky cant really stop people from launching +1 channels, if the broadcasters pay for the EPG Space they can put what they want on it i think.

    I saw the advert (as I sat down to watch Bullseye) and realised, "oh what a surprise, this episode is a Challenge repeat" (from about urrrrm, 3 weeks ago?? come on guys at Challenge, pull your finger out, between this and infinite repeat loops of Bargain Hunt on UK STYLE the Sky box is hardly worth having anymore - MBC2 on Arabsat is almost better, and it's FTA) and in response to the original post - correct, you can indeed not beat a bit of bully - should be brought back, even a 1989 repeat of the Krypton Factor is better than half the shows on the other main channels - just shows how cr×p British telly is getting.

    At the moment its showing Livingtv, very suprised they haven't had running preview for the new channel.

    Back on the topic of Challenge+1, it was showing a fault message earlier but the audio was there.

    they did have Knightmere on for a short time.

    Short time?

    Knightmare has been on the channel for a year.

    I am glad to see shows like Blockbusters, Bullseye, Catchphrase on Challenge i also enjoy the Poker and the odd episode of Fort Boyard/Crystal Maze.

    Thats 28 channels, not 14.

    movies 1 - 9 are advertised as SCREENS, not channels.
    and SKY Sports is the same format...

    Sky's own business information says "14 channels"... these are owed by sky, not run by sky :)

    And 10 years on... they've now got rid of it!

    It's one of the +1 channels i didn't mind, and actually made use of, when nothing else was on.
