It’s all about the plus ones it seems just now. Channel 4 is terribly excited about it’s newly launched +1 channel allowing you to see programmes that were on an hour earlier. It has always confused me that they’re called “+1” channels – surely they should be “-1” since it was on an hour earlier?
\nAnyway the only use I get from them is if I’m recording more shows at the same time than my PVR can cope with. But I’ve just found a use for Channel 4 +1 – I can watch Channel Four News when I get in. Usually it’s just about over before I reach home. Now I can easily catch it. Although it is weird hearing the continuity announcer on Channel 4 +1 explaining that over on +1, The Simpsons is just about to start. For that I need Channel 4 +1 +1 (or +2) don’t I?
\nDiscovery Channel does have both Discovery +1 and Discover +1.5… I think I prefer the FX solution. Their sister channel is FX+ and they just rejig the network quite a lot; it doesn’t take long to find another airing of Dexter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
