Quizcall on Ch.36.

CoolboyA · 19/04/06 - 18:11

i have just noticed Quizcall has moved to Ch.36 to be beside Itv Play. in my opinion the channels are awaste of space but so far Itv Play is the better of the two as it lets callers through more often...but there still crap:D

Yeah I did a channel scan today and it's moved to 36. Wonder why that is ?

marbles333 · 19/04/06 - 20:48

Well, at least they're keeping it tidy. I shan't be watching any of them

[Deleted User] · 19/04/06 - 20:55

I wonder if they knew they were going to be moved....their websites not updated yet:

When and where will Quiz Call be broadcast?

Quiz Call is available on Freeview Channel 37, NTL Channel 165 and SKY Channel 855.
Quiz Call broadcasts from 12 noon to 2am, 7 days a week.

and I wonder how long we will have to wait for the Freeview site to update: http://www.freeview.co.uk/channels/view.php?/47
although they seem abit more on the ball these days

On my TIVO this morning I got a message that a line up change had occurred:
quizcall moved from 37 to 36
AND new channel SMILETV added at 37

(often new channels are added to TIVO a few days before the channel actually appears)

I have no idea what SMILETV is though!

Smile TV ????

Looks like Xtraview won't be returning in any form.

AndyGrayUk · 19/04/06 - 21:43

New CBBC Channel or Adult

- last updated two days ago.

The web page associated with http://www.smiletv.com says it is for sale.

Hmm... and it doesn't give any satellite details like the other channels. It also has a French phone number despite being based in the UK.

Either a red herring, or something new, I guess.

is this a wind up if so stop wasting peoples time

freetoview33 · 19/04/06 - 22:24

In a few weeks quizcall on freeview channel 36, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Now ITV Play is 24 hours

That explains why our box was talling us about new channels then. :mad:

Also, in London at least, there is 'Service e040' on channel 506, which is likely to be for the BBC HD trial for 500 homes in London only.

It'll also be on Ch.5 on Sunday nights now as well, just what Terrestrial TV needs right now! :rolleyes:

Oh dear...not good :eek:
I wonder if Five are testing the water to see if a quiz channel would be viable for either Five.2 or Five.3

digiperson · 23/04/06 - 01:36

It's going to be on till 5.30 on Five and Quizcall Ch 36, Saturday nights/Sunday mornings only; back to normal on other days on Ch 36.

It's so bad compared to ITV Play.

I think Quizcall will have to become much more entertaining if it is going to last now that ITV play is here.

marbles316 · 23/04/06 - 02:07

Lol. Who'll be watching Quizcall at 5am??

[Deleted User] · 23/04/06 - 02:14

What a bizarre way for C4 to get their quiz channel on terrestrial tv. Instead of putting it on their own channel for no extra cost they will instead have to either revenue share or pay five for the airtime.

Yet another channel to avoid at night.

Well if nobody will be watching I'll gladly set my alarm so I can wake up at that time and take the cash on offer...

Well, at least it's not interfering with Channel 4's schedules, or cheapening _their_ brand.

Very true. The complete opposite to ITV thank goodness.
