[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 16442, member: 175209"] Yes this annoys me. BBC tell us you are getting a "NEW" television channel "BBC 3" What they don't tell you is it is just a re brand and makeover of BBC Choice. Just the same as the "new" BBC4 was a makeover of BBC Knowledge. And just the same as the "new" childrens channels CBBC and CBeebies were just the daytime output of BBC Choice and BBC Knowledge, sharing the same mux, but given the inconvenience of different EPG numbers to try and fool you into thinking they are something different. Just as the BBC's Digital channels are "now available for free on the new freeview service" Erm they have allways been free on digital terestrial. So the BBC like to keep telling you that you are getting something NEW where in fact you are just getting some CHANGES. This is more like the advertising standards that you expect from a double glazing company, not the BBC. [/QUOTE]
