Chris Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4392764.stmSweet! Here's hoping they show Las Vegas and Deadwood. Now all we need is a decent music channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 never have any problem with Sky Travel (apart from falling asleep drunk while watching it, then waking up at 6 in morning with a hangover and Alan Whicker travelling the world), channel 5 on the other hand never works.

Sam the Eagle Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 from what i've heard is that you're pretty much gonna get everything that is on sky one, just a year behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 tried a cheap indoor aerial? when we moved in here, the big aerial on the roof was completely useless, but my cheap five quid aerial from Asda worked an absolute treat. It might be because my house overlooks the beach and so there's a clear line of sight to Durris, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 but durris is south west of aberdeen. how do you have a clear line of site from the beach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Why are they replacing Sky Travel! It's just about the best channel on there: Alan Whicker, Keith Floyd, Airport! They should have scrapped one of those home shopping channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 but durris is south west of aberdeen. how do you have a clear line of site from the beach?because I live in Donmouth..technically not "the beach", but I can see sand from my windows and there's beach about a minute's walk from my door, so to me it's still "the beach" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way on god's green earth you can see Durris from the mouth of the Don. Hell I'd be surprised if you could get a clear line of site from Portlethen. The Durris transmitter sits on a hill in Durris forest overlooking Stonehaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I'd be surprised if you could get a clear line of site from Portlethen. The Durris transmitter sits on a hill in Durris forest overlooking Stonehaven.Now you've got an argument But I'll look up maps tomorrow (too tired tonight) to see if there is a clear line of sight. The aerial doesn't work upstairs when pointed towards Balgownie' date=' so where else could it be coming from? Is there any other transmitters for Aberdeen? I could've sworn that Balgownie was built to cover the Bridge of Don for the houses that couldn't see Durris because of Northfield, but there would seem to be a fairly clear line of sight from here... [url']http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/transmitters/tv_trans/tv_durris.shtmlDurris is ridiculously powerful, so is it that much of a surprise?Actually, Elwood has reminded me of something - further evidence of using Durris comes from the fact that the signal goes to hell in bad weather - but friends of mine using Balgownie (who live round the back, higher up, so they can see it clearly) never have any issues in bad weather. And I've just found out that the transmitters are owned by NTL..how odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't it on their premier entertainment channel - Sky One!!I want WWE PPV's on Sky One (actually, I want them back on Channel 4, I didn't really mind the fact that it was on later because of add breaks).

Scootray Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I just bought a digibox off of eBay, so I better bloody get this channel, or someone will pay. I'm not sure who yet, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
