New Channel

[maytreefrannie]

Yep, just double checked,as soon as I scroll down the planner to it the series link option disappears

Is it possible this could correct itself from Sunday? I don't have Series Link on my package though, so I could be wrong.

Free-to-air means anyone with FreeSat or similar, or even a Sky box that they have stopped subscribing to, can get it. At least, that was our experience, we stopped Sky a few years ago and the free-to-air channels (BBC, Ch4 etc.) were still available. We're now on basic Sky again but I'm always thinking about stopping again.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing some more gardening shows, I used to love the Big Dig, Digging for Victory and the rest.

Nicos pointed out that it IS on freeview! So you won't have to pay.

No, it's not on freeview, it's on freesat, not the same at all

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 that Skegblade, sounds interesting
We can series link it

I didn't know there was a difference.

Well I can series link it on the + 1 channel and when its on on Monday but not the 9am Sunday,how strange

[chris]

That claire from youtube is on it? I had a few looks at her youtube channel before

[CaroltheCarrot]

Update. Just had an email,series link will be available on Sunday, still strange that its available now at other times
And I hadnt realised its only on once a fortnight

When this newbie was first mentioned it boasted a mailing list which I joined but never heard from until yesterday... I've pasted yesterday's circular in entirety (repeats some info already discussed above). I found the website mentioned at the end worth a visit. They are looking for short films of life on allotments, which sounds interesting... GYO megastars! Who's gonna be first? bb x

No mention of cable TV .i.e Virgin Media.............

[bazzaboy]

So what did people think? The presenters were all very natural I thought (more difficult than it looks if you've ever tried it), GYO didn't get a mention (other series did), I thought it a bit Londoncentric to start with (sorry, I'm not going to march for cheaper rents in Greenwich) but then packed a lot of topics in a short space. P'raps too much other stuff (bees, hens, potato bread etc...)?? - but a nice change from Andrew Marr!

[HotStuff]

It was entertaining enough that I will continue to watch. I do worry that they're going to spread themselves a bit thin with trying to cover so many things in half an hour.

[Florence Fennel]

Oh bu@@er I forgot!

[Bren In Pots]

edited to say the program's now on line. :-

I liked it but I could do without that guy cooking in the kitchen. It's a gardening show, not a cooking show! Nice to see Kris from AG on there with his begonias. Shame it's not on weekly.

[Pumpkin Becki]

Rats!! I missed it too...but I've put it in my planner now, and thankfully it series links (on Sky), so that's a huge bonus.
