New Channel

[skegblade]

For anyone who doesn't take GYO magazine or has missed the small article about this, there's a new channel starting on sky.Called THE HORTICULRURAL CHANNEL, it begins on the 6th of March (SKY channel 166) and is dedicated to home growing and allotments.

Thanks for the reminder.......just hoping that we can get it as on talktalk but can get some sky channels especially if they're freeview as well.........

[Nicos]

Gosh I hope we can get it too!

Thanks for letting us know- can you remind us again nearer the time???

[Pumpkin Becki]

I'm really looking forward to this, I hope it's a bit like The Big Dig...but all the time

[Nicos]

It says it's free to air- what does that mean???

It tells you a bit more on this link. There is freesat - what's that?
And on youtube.

I think "free to air" means it's part of your sky subscription pack. It's also on freesat channel 402, but tyhere's no mention of freeview

Just had a brianwave!!!

I turned on the TV and pressed channel 166....and YEY!!!!...it's a basic freebie

( we have an old sky box which we used in the UK for the free view channels- but paid £20 for a different card.
Big thrill- it also works over here- but only limited channels)

So if I can get it I think everyone should be able to??? ( tis the Information channel at the moment)

Oh goodie- something else to distract me!!!

Thanks for the reminder. I'm really looking forward to this, I only watch a little television at the mo, but it will be a great boon to watch when Himself has got sport on, which is almost whenever the television's on.

Believe or not at 7pm it is the caravan channel eeek.
And if you are late getting up on sunday morning the information channel plus one hour is on channel 189 but these are sky channels..jacob

Will it be on cable too though? Doesn't look likely and we've not got freesat or Sky

I'm a freeview watcher, I'm too mean to pay for telly on top of my license.

I won't be getting this then.

You deny your little one the joy of Phineas and Ferb?
I won't be getting this then.

Can you not watch it on the You Tube channel?(I didn't realise there was one but I assume it's through t'internet)
