1 October is 28 days from now - for all intents and purposes, that's exactly a month. We know that the placeholders were to remain for a month, so it fits the timetable perfectly. Why waste any more time?

It only fits it "perfectly" if it's February - 28 days is NOT one month. But I agree it makes little difference.

Don't see how you can do it by days. As you say february has 28 days apart from a leap year.Some months have 30 days and some have 31 days.When there say a months it normal means 4 weeks.

Rubbish, a month is a month. People who are paid monthly are not paid every four weeks.

OAPs who choose monthly payment of their pension, do get paid every 4 weeks.
(13 payments per year)

I was on topic.My post only apply to the freeview EPG getting paid is nothing to do with this thread.

No they don't they choose 4-weekly payment. Anyway I understand that benefit payments will all be changing to monthly sometime soon and about time too as it will then be in sync with most of the rest of the world. Sorry, last word from me on the subject.

Just noticed that this has been added as channel 90. Any idea when it starts broadcasting?

Now we have two topics with the same name http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2003963

This must be the +1 thread.

Why have we got 2 threads with the same content? Is DS messed up?

Thread of the year.

Today's the day.

I have the CBS Action caption placeholder on ch90 onscreen now and the EPG starts showing at 9am in 3 minutes.

Do I need to re-scan, or look at ch70 or wait until 1pm or what?

It's ST:TOS I'm looking forward to.

it must be later on today but when I dont have a clue as at 9.15 nothing has changed { after a retune }

lucky enough I already have CBS Action { on Virgin and freesat }

According to the posting from CBS Action on their Facebook page:
"after the channel re-tune at 1500 on 1st, CBS Action will be on Channel 70"
So wait a little longer, but the old Star Treks are repeated on Saturday morning too.

From CBS Action facebook pages.

CBS Action is now broadcasting on freeview LCN 90,

Rescan after 3pm as CBS Action move to LCN 70.

But in the mean time CBS Action is finally on air so enjoy.

Aha! I've just rescanned and found it on ch90 - ST:TNG.

You obviously missed the big September 3rd retune then!

True, I missed that one.

And I'm still sick of Parky popping up on every break as a jobbing insurance pusher.

70 is now live

So much better then that CBS Reality channel.

Noted. Thanks - esp bib.
