Delighted to see that UKTV Food will be extending viewing hours shortly until 1 a.m. I hope Good Food Live will get another later slot.

Well done UKTV Food! Will UKTV Food 1 be extending soon too?

Good Food Live will indeed be getting an extra later slot! All will soon be revealed on the channel...
Tony - UKTV Food

Great news - but will there be some new progs on or just repeats?

Well, there I was, last night, sitting in front of the TV. I turned over to UKTVFood as a respite from the football (sorry Kamila, can't have crossed my fingers enough) and... a black screen!! Did anyone else try and watch UKTVFood late last night? I was furious because once again NTHell deny their 'customers' - but why?? I despair - we don't get UKTVFood 1 and now we don't get the extra hours.

Can anyone explain that to me? Oh, if I could chance to Sky I would....

You don't get some of the great foodie programmes on sky travel either Georgie, the ones like Douglas Chew cooks Asia. It's very good.

But you probably dont get the extortionate bill either, I think it's just gone up again £41.00 per month now and thats just the tv, not phone/ internet package etc.

NTHell charge us £45 a month for the privilege but that includes the Sports channel. I am going to have to get rid of the Sports channel due to an economy drive and hope to reduce the bill, not sure how much extra that is. I would love to go to Sky but we are tied in to their broadband access and telephone too so to separate the whole lot out might end up being more expensive than it is now.

I still want UKTVFood after 9pm though!!!!

Yes, everyone I know who has sky as opposed to cable claim it is much more expensive if you want all the channels and separate broadband and phone connection. So you are best sticking to cable and cutting channels you don't really want. :(

Oh and a break down is sky £41.00 per month, BT broadband £30.00 per month and then usual BT phone rental and call charges on top.

Had UKTVFood right up to 1am. UKTVF1 finishes at 7pm. Up here, north of the border, I'm with Telewest for everything. Cost per month Supreme Package TV 15.50 - Blueyonder Broadband Internet 25.00 - 'phone line rental 10.00. with call charges on top.
I think this is quite a good deal.

That does seem like a good deal Livewire, I think I may have to look in to that.

I did ring NTHell this morning and a very nice lady said that HER screen said I should have been able to watch UKTVFood last night even though I had told her that MY screen was black last night. So I will see tonight if they have flicked a particular switch or not. However, she did say that NTHell have NO plans to show UKTVFood 1! Ho hum.....

Well I am afraid I didn't look to see if I could get it or not last night, but looking today, my pink and purple program bar says I should get it, I have the list of programs.

So I will look tonight, promise, and we can compare notes.

With NTL. I pay £29.00 for the "Family" pack, I don't have any film or sports channels.
£17.99 for Broadband, that is the slowest speed they do.
But I don't pay line rental for the phone, only pay for the calls.

Thanks Rustie, look forward to hearing if you can view UKTVFood after 9pm or not.

I know that the broadband I have is a higher speed and costs slightly more but interesting to see how much the 'Family Pack' costs as that is considerably less than I am paying - so will look to see what channels are in that (the kids love Nick Jr and Boomerang). Like you I only pay for my telephone calls so I think I am probably on the best deal(sadly) and wouldn't be cost effective to change.

OK, this is a fairly quiet deal from BT - Option 3 - Calls to any NORMAL number's for £28 a month - Does not inc. 0845/Mobiles etc

Pay for those seperately!

I pay £9.50 a month for SKY, Family Pack - They quoted me for the first 6 months! Now I have just done a deal to get the next 6 months at £9.50 a month - I told them I would not carry on after the 6 months,and I was changing supplier. They phoned me back 10 mins later and offered me the deal.

I pay (Ha Ha Ha) £17.99 a month for Wanadoo, instead of £27.99 as you only really require the more expensive for games/downloading music etc. But you get a huge amount for £17.99.

If you are about to expire from the £27..99 a month pack, tell Freeserve that you want the £17.99 a month, but don't want to pay the £20 new issue deal! They will back off very quickly !!!

Well it is about ¼ past nine and I am still getting uktvfood, The Two Fat Ladies to be precise, so hope you are getting it too Georgie.

Oh and yes I get Nick Jnr. and Boomerang as part of my Family Pack.

Sorry Rustie, only just seen your post - yes, I too got UKTVFood last night! NTHell must have flicked that switch for me! Thank you for the info on the Family Pack - sounds exactly what I need.

yeh we got the family pack too with phone inc its got everything you will need. we dont do sport or movies either.

Oh and I have Sky Travel Extra, and Douglas Chew Cooks Asia is on at 13.30 today, channel 932

Thank you for that Rustie - never knew I had it! Just tuned in....
