That's not very nice polly. In what way is it crap?

It's a US channel and I guess people who like US sitcoms will tune in, so why would anyone who likes US sitcoms be disappointed?

As far as I'm concerned, the content it's self is borderline ok, but they repeat the episodes bleedin daily! Surely they can put out more varied content than they do now?

It is quite annoying, I can understand one episode airing twice a day in a different slot (like 7AM and 7PM) but its pretty ridicolous.

What is annoying is people who hate American shows calling it crap, It racks my brain why anybody who hates American shows would even bother watching to discover.

That's my point - I don't mind american tv, but please, please please don't play the same episode more than once a week. They've got access to ABC's content, so they should be able to muster up more than 1 season of each show? or maybe ABC us has already flogged the rights to the decent stuff?

Still, the other new channels more than make up for it!

All these new channels offer is the ability for HC to say we have X amount of channels, but the content isnt great. Infact it doesnt really expand on quality of what we already had. UK Gold channels are probably the best offering and we dont have Living TV so we have been given a token gesture of channels.

Im not complaining as I was happy with what I had really and actually prefer to have quality shows on replay more than I would new channels.

does anyone else have this problem - my abc1 is stuck saying 'progs start at 06.00am' and the screen goes black if you try to select it - it's been like this since the 1st sept?

I actually thought, until I read this forum, that ABC1 only broadcasts during the day -

are we sure it's a fault, then ?

Yes it only broadcasts during the day: 06:00 - 18:00 daily,
So if you are switching to this channel outside of those hours you will just get a black screen.
