It's a shame in a way as the slot use to be NME and Minx which both offered something different.

I predict that MTV Live will be the next channel to close. |

Still broadcasting off the EPG showing videos in full.
11307 V 27500 2/3 Any other music channels not on the EPG that can be found that way? I used to store some and i've just seen my old list on my box - most don't work now. |

Could have given us a channel with a broader selection of music , less music channels are needed though some of them need to reformatting.

I'm surprised they don't swap the video stream over for Starz TV as it's worse than BuzMuzik was. Ideally I'd love to see the channel drop the quarter frame and have a video scrolling video numbers like The Box had and maybe still do pictures TV at certain times of the day. BuzMuzik was a complete failure and seemed to get much less viewers than NME. It's indents were quite fresh and it was uncluttered though.
Why CSC converted Bliss to a new music channel puzzles me. They now have no older music channels. The Vault is just cheesy 90's pop. Bliss is just pop from the past 5/10 years with the odd bit of indie thrown in. Chart Show is new music, Flava is R&B and CSC Dance is just recent dance. |

New music means more channels are not watched, Its probably not even any good new music anyways. Its just rubbish like One Direction.

I know most people say the solution is "change the channel" but how can you change the channel when what your looking for is not music of today is mostly played?? Thats the problem and the attitude stinks anything before 2000 is basically slagged off or they tell the viewer "its old" and won't play it? Why? It just tells me that you have to be "withit" and be part of the TOWIE lot with music. UK culture/society has changed I can see that but they know how to alienate certain demographics! |

CSC should move the cheesy pop over to Starz Tv : Starz for popular artists from past and present and reformat The Vault back into a classic hits music channel covering a broader range of classic music from Dance , Indie , Alternative , Chill out & Britpop.

I never liked the old Bliss - too much Take That and such nonsense, however the new Bliss is slightly better, but repetitive (always the same songs and artists) and too similar to other channels.
MTV Music, MTV Hits, MTV Live are too similar Box, Smash Hits, Heat, 4Music too similar Heart and Capital are just terrible full stop. The likes of 4Music and Heat will stay though as it gives strange people the chance to be on TV (and on this occasion i;m not talking Miquita Oliver or Lucy Cave, but I could include them here) |

I would have thought The Vault would be better rebranded as Pop or something like this maybe Pop Music?

KISS - Boring! when its just like The Box minus the Pop and Rock. Heat - is pointless just another Smash Hits with the odd older tune thrown in. Magic - Since 4/Bauer took over it's been put on a repeat loop ever since! Kerrang! - Very repetitive , Top 50 US Rock Anthems has been repeated hundreds of times since Christmas lol. 4music - Where's the frigging music to ? Even when they do show music they are soo shallow with what they play. They need to rid of the 'Music' of it's name and call it something else. MTV's music channels suffer the same problem like BOX Television , MTV's worst music channel is VH1 it's like they've put the channel in limbo , they don't know what to do with it ! Best solution close it down ! |

The Vault went away from being a classic hits based channel in early 2008 because it was before i upgraded from SD to HD i saw them playing Shakespears Sister - Stay which hasnt been shown on the channel since nor anything before 1996 !

Mtv Dance - House Classics
I noted tonight on MTV Dance they had a programme called "house classics" unfortunately I did not watch it but I wondered if this had anything to do with the passing of Frankie Knuckles this week? I may sound weird saying it but any other time I ain't seen MTV Dance actually dedicate that music during the day never mind that time of night?
Anyone see it and if any was there different songs (that never aired) or was it just the same? |

Don't know if anyone has noticed but Chart Show TV , The Vault , Chart Show Dance and Bliss are all showing the same music videos in the same rotation every morning from 3am until 6am Scuzz and Starz are the only channels that are playing different content.

Kerrang yet again have the vote for best rock 100 - Bauer just seem to have the same charts/votes every year. |

Firstly, why did they get rid of Buzmuzik when Buzmuzik looks all fresh and Starz TV looks cheap and horrible.
Also, because Buzmuzik is gone, CS Dance has moved to 372 and as Clubland TV is 383 now I cant just press the ch+/- to move between them Also, CS Dance has finished In The Mix: March so why are still doing In The Mix now, I like the ones with random songs even though sometimes they seem to repeat the same songs, but I cant stand the ones for specific artists like Example, David Guetta because when i listen to music, i want to listen to different songs, not an album |

What is it with VH1 and their timing? I recorded Britney vs Lady Gaga (yes I know, but I'm a Britney fan and don't mind Gaga's music either even though I can't stand her as a person) last night and the other night and it was supposed to be on for an hour. The recording cut off when I'm A Slave 4 U (which is one of my favourite Britney songs) came on
Argh! Last night I nearly put my foot through the TV

Argh! Last night I nearly put my foot through the TV ![]() First time in ages i've seen VH1 go over. Vault had it tonight too - Britney and friends - went over by about 3 mins. We usually add a few mins on when recording, although things we tend to keep go straight to the DVD Recorder (and then edit out all the ads and unwanted songs such as Gaga!) MTV channels are usually better with their timings than the other big channels. |

Me and my lot record (and then onto DVD) all of our faves and Britney is a big thing in my house so I recall the programme (It's been on 3 times now, songs in different orders) and they went about 3 minutes over - we thought after Gaga (who we all don't like) and Beyonce (Also not liked) with their collab that their was no more Britney, but Slave 4 U appeared.

I don't know if I can add extra time to the recordings on my TV, but I was fuming when Slave 4 U was cut off. It's my all-time favourite Britney song and my TV knows I like that song. Last night my foot almost went through the telly. I watched it last night and Tuesday night.

Vh1 "technical Error"
I was watching VH1's Friday Night Disco - song featured is correct in "decade" however who is in charge changed the year date of the song! (morons!)
Sub Sub ft Melanie Williams - Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use) they say year was 2009! (it was released in 1994!!! - VH1 of all networks should know that or has some intern at network deleted the original year and thought to put a random year in place??) Had to laugh when they played it in 90's Disco and luckily I recognised it but to say this was out in 2009 it was out of place - CORRECT THIS MISTAKE!! |
