been looking at the EPG on freeview and after the M&M
nightscreen ends at 6am.

They are showing the following ITV Play test data page

Itv Play launches April 19th
This test data for Itv play, a new interactive gaming channel,which launches at 12.00 on April 19th. This test data is not for reproduction or publication in any form.

so either they will just show a testcard itv play page or they will preview what`s on the upcoming channel.

so we will have to wait and see

Your really think ITV Care? If theres money involved theyll do anything. Best thing to do is to not watch and delete ITV Play from EPG.
ITV Really over do Quizs....
1. The Mint - ITV1 = ££££s
2. Quizmania - ITV2 WITH ADVERTS! = $$££
3. Daily Quiz - Men and Motors = ££££££££s (its on eairly)
4. And ofcours the channel! ITV Play!! :eek: :mad:

Andy LG!
ITV = Quizs, movies, docs,kids and entertainment
BBC = Movies, Entertainment, Kids, Docs, NO QUIZS :rolleyes: :cool: And manage better. Althugh they do have TV Licence fees which go to them?

chris20 · 09/04/06 - 21:31

they are keeping all the other ones on there channels and having there on quiz channel to its bad

sheppy124 · 09/04/06 - 21:32

It will be called quizview instead of freeview soon, the public will have a big surprise when they switch off the analogue. All they have is quiz shows

Sexbomb · 09/04/06 - 21:35

M&M is FTA on 28.2E, i.e. any DSAT receiver will do - not just ones from Sky. Just keep an eye on Lidl's offers

BBC= NO quizzes what about the National Lotto games, The Weakest Link etc

[Deleted User] · 09/04/06 - 21:46

I thought it was Wednesday 12th April, as on their website it states: M&M website

It is 56 hours and 14 minutes, or 3,374 minutes to go!

At least, the Daily Quiz is to finish on Tuesday 12th September on Men & Motors, for Sky & Cable viewers. (Probably move to ITV Play!!)The Daily Quiz Terms and Conditions

There's a difference between a quiz-based entertainment show and a programme/channel where you actually phone-in to answer questions.

on freeview EPG it say`s 6am thu morning.

So who is right and wrong?

[Deleted User] · 09/04/06 - 22:00

Oh joy (!) M&M taken off Freeview early so ITV can show a crappy promo loop. It will take a lot to beat the tackiness of Quiz Call's pre-launch loop, no doubt ITV will manage that. Still, as long as it makes money who cares what viewers think. :rolleyes:

[Deleted User] · 09/04/06 - 22:15

I still cant get the hang of this digital stuff,seems to cause loads of miffedness. Tell me again whats wrong with analogue?

[Deleted User] · 09/04/06 - 22:31

nothing worng with analogue at least when sky and terrestrial tv where analogue they had less crap but now it's all going digital the content is going down hill fast

it's scary! but then it's only tv get out more enjoy life

If you don't want quiz channels on your screens delete it or don't phone in it's easy really if it gets no veiwers it makes no money and will go away:)

Not many channels broadcast EPG.. so thats why we have to use a Sky+ box.
I don't think M&M broadcast 7 day DVB EPG.

[Deleted User] · 09/04/06 - 23:22

Would I need an EPG? thought I'd only need that if was setting up VCR?

[Deleted User] · 10/04/06 - 10:59

Have you all complained to dutyoffice@itv.com?

Have you contacted your newspapers?

Have you called M&M advertisers?

[Deleted User] · 10/04/06 - 11:27

Will ITV4 now show some of Men and Motors shows now.

I haven't complained about ITV Play.
I've begged them to merge M&M with ITV4.

Hey there!
