Ah well, there goes my life for 2 weeks

I know and that's about the about the same time as I get my new puppy.
I was going to try and get some early nights in preparation for the poo and piddle episodes( training the puppy, not IACGMOOH I mean )
Oh well, looks like the sleep will have to be sacrificed.
Not sure about Mark Durden-Smith. He comes across as a bit of a smug git.

Interesting. Could be good fun.

I didn't like Mark at first, but he grew on me with Ri:se. That could have been because he was sat next to Edith and that irish git, but I think he was alright really. Unsure why he lost his job and the one with the least talent stayed.

Is there any information on how long the "live stuff" will air for?

It looks like I'm gonna have to lob out and subscribe to Sky for the duration, its the only way I can get ITV2. Does anyone know how much the cheapest Sky package is that means I'll be able to get it? Was £7 the last time I indulged myself!

Can't wait for this, I liked the first one as much as FA

For around £280 you can have a digibox, installation, and phone BBC for a Free-to-view card

(although i've heard about problems with FTV cards and ITV2!)

Thanks, but I've already got the box and the dish, just watch all the free channels, don't subscribe to Sky you see. But you can't get ITV2 free, you have to pay for package to view it and a hundred other channels that I don't want! Why won't they let you pick just two or three channels for a couple of quid a week, like ONdigital did originally. BTW I can't get freeview here, no signal, else I would buy one of the £80 boxes.

Bcus i'm a helpful kinda guy (yeah rite!) i've just had a quick look and for £18.50

You can get ITV2 - and a load more (Sky Family Pack)

And you can even order online!

(Hope that helped!)

Yep the cheapest package is £18.50 to get ITV2 which hacks me of also, but im lucky enough to also have a full Telewest package in the lounge (where ITV2 is free anyway) so i will just have to hog the TV in there.

I would advise you keep your eye on "Those ITV tests" on sky digital as they have been broadcasting ITV 2 on and off since its launch.

They are showing ITV1 on two of them and the third is currently blank, lets hope the blank one becomes ITV2 again like it was two weeks back.

Can you get cable in your area?

is a very good value package its the same price as sky but you get yopur phone line included. I think a standard BT phone line is about £11 now isnt it so you are getting all those channels for £7.50 per month

Thanks for all the info. Unfortunately, can't get cable either. Lots of things you can't get here, the delights of living in rural Wales, has its compensations, but also in times like this, its aggravations. (Can't get gas either, has to be calor or nothing)
How do I tune the sky box to the other 2 ITV channels, I have got all the BBC ones, and the regional ITV on extra channels setting, is this the same thingy?

10906v 22.0 5/6

under the labels of 3-8, 3-9, and g54

Thank you kindly. Will have a tweak later !

Just got word - the live streaming will run between midnight and 10am.

is it not a bit pointless to have live streaming if all the "celebs" are sleeping?

i can predict complaints from non-fans about wanting their programmes repeated already!!

I think those times are GMT

and then it's repeated after that in the rest of the day from 11am while the celebs are sleeping and we are awake so we don't need to stay up for it.

Lets hope that during the daytime repeat of the live coverage, that the production team get it together to just bleep offending words etc, instead of blanking whole conversations!.

Just a quick thought:

What happens about GMTV2?

Not that i'm bothered its gone, but arn't ITV channels restricted by ITC rules about broadcasting 6:00am and 9:25am
