Hi peeps,

Well this is the first year I've been able to watch American Idol properly, having had cable TV (virgin media installed) and finally able to watch ITV2.

At the moment, I've been staying up to 3 / 4 am on Saturday nights (early Sunday morning) to watch the first weekend episode .... and then again staying up until 12.30 am the next day for the following episode.

I tried looking for it in "Catch up TV on Demand" and ITV Net player and did not find any signs of American Idol.

I don't have any recording equipment ..... and wonder whether any of you guys know how to catch it on UK TV at a better time .....?


(Obviously I don't have SkyPlus which would be ideal, but hey ho )

Sharanski, it's on at 8pm on Thursday, and 9pm on Fridayon ITV2.

Thanks! Sorry 4 being such a dimbo -- had not noticed that at all. Often I am out on a Thursday evening, and I had only come across Am.Idol in the very wee late hours Sat / Sun mornings !! Woops!

It's repeated on ITV2 on Saturdays and Sundays too, around 3pm ish I think, but better check your TV guide, cos I think they play around with the times and sometimes show it in the mornings too, around 10am ish.
