I'll believe it when I see it!



And why can't people spell or at least type properly?

My spelling is very good, it's my typing that's the problem...

Any chance of DS Spy putting a spell check in place?

No - I know - it's not a goer...

Well as I had a few minutes to waste, I've taken a look around both channel4.com and channel4.com/e4 and have found absolutely no reference to the 'E4 is coming to Freeview' claim ..

Care to post a link to where you found this revelation ?

there seems to be this rule nowadays that if your post count is below 10, you have to post made-up drivel.

(i appologise to the majority of new members who do not do this!)

It doesn't, anywhere that I can see. So I posted this on their forums, and we'll see what the response is.

Statistically there is more chance of having 8 earthquakes in Manchester in one day than there is of having E4 on DTT

Yawn , most people at least care to leave a web address . Silly remarks or outlandish comments like a pay-tv channel on free view won't go well down here on these forums.

I suspect that channel 4 are bringing Attheraces to DTT , perhaps even a slimmed down version of national gepgraphic for the evenings , a while ago they were intrested (NG) is showing a slimmed down version of there channel,
that would be nice .
Attheraces by day ,national geographic by night.

Yeah but some people were claiming that "October was never an option for freeview" launch and it's launching in october so, you can never be sure of these things.

I hope it is going to be E4

Someone has replied saying that it is E4.

Unfortunatly they don't know how to post proof. So until I see it I think I am with you on the 'yeah right' idea.

I think we should just wait for media.guardian.co.uk / channel4.com / crowncastle.com to tell us otherwise

Don't be silly... it's for the new "4Fish" channel launching next month.

24 Hours of looping Royal Angel fish, guaranteed to be more enjoyable than watching 30 seconds of the UKHomestyle network...

Ooooh.... that's a much better idea, it means we could also have:

FishFour +1
FishFour Extreme
and FishFour World

Well they would certainly get a sponsorship deal.

Angelfish brought to you by (drumroll please) fish4.co.uk

Graham

[Edit]
Maybe instead of FishFour +1 we would have it interactive where we choose the FishCam and can catch up on the days news in the highlights program presented by Dermot O'Leary
