Create & Craft extends hours
LCN36 is extending its hours to start at 5am from tomorrow. It is possibly a temporary arrangement until Christmas. The new 5am-8am slot is currently vacant.
Heard on air and confirmed on Freeview EPG. Create & Craft is a 24/7 channel on satellite but is only live from 8am-1am IIRC. I think this means that Arqiva has completely filled Mux D / Arq B with no spare capacity available. Mux C has a possible eighth stream available subject to $ky reducing its bitrates and two more streams are available on Arq A. |

This one escaped me yesterday.
Create & Craft is changing hours and multiplexes from 12/4/11. It will be on 6am-6pm keeping the same LCN36. I guess the most likely capacity is Big Deal but it could go anywhere including TUTV capacity, post DSO Arqiva only and even BBC / Arqiva joint capacity. If they hadn't said that they were changing frequency I would have guessed expansion where they are now, ie kjcking off TV News and Rocks & Co. http://www.shoppingtelly.com/ |

Channel 45!
However this could be the start of clearing that stream to give channel 45 space to start. |

I guess the most likely capacity is Big Deal but it could go anywhere including TUTV capacity, post DSO Arqiva only and even BBC / Arqiva joint capacity. If they hadn't said that they were changing frequency I would have guessed expansion where they are now, ie kicking off TV News and Rocks & Co. http://www.shoppingtelly.com/ 0600-1800 Create & Craft (LCN 36) 1800-2000 T-View (LCN 32) 2000-0300 Psychic TV (LCN 32) 0300-0600 JCM Direct (LCN 32) T-View needs LCN 32 to be a MHEG screen at times to explain how to use the service (like TXV has). The Create & Craft hours will provide this when the video stream moves to LCN 36. |

I'm guessing it's on the BBC/ArqA matched slot, and that's why Auntie's got 301 off Mux B in a hurry.

Not near a TV at the moment, but pretty sure earlier on that the LCN32 EPG for Tuesday onward had Psychic TV on in the day and Gems TV in the evening. But then again, EPGs can be wrong and changed as and when needed.

If the current Freeview EPG for LCN32 Big Deal remains in place on Tuesday, there won't be any room for an extended 6am-6pm Create & Craft or even Rocks & Co! The LCN32 EPG has changed and is currently:-
0300-0900 Teleshopping 0900-1800 Psychic TV 1800-0300 Gems TV The Create & Craft press release said some viewers MIGHT need to retune. Could this mean that Rocks & Co gets relocated and TV News gets bumped off again? If so, no retune would be required to retain Create & Craft. Rocks & Co would need to find a new home or close. |

Is this teleshopping JML Direct, or just generic teleshopping?

Oops, sorry for that typo, I did know that - I'm not the first to make it :P
So my question still stands - is the "Teleshopping" given by Ray Cathode really JCM Direct? Or has that now disappeared and just been replaced with generic teleshopping? |
