Star Trek on Virgin 1 (on Freeview, Virgin TV & Sky)

MoonTrek

Just for any UK viewers that might have missed this news:

Brand new digital TV channel Virgin 1 will now be showing Star Trek series including -

The Next Generation
Deep Space Nine
Voyager
Enterprise

The new channel launches on 1st October on Virgin TV channel 122, Freeview channel 20 and Sky channel 153.

The first episodes to be shown will be from Deep Space Nine and will be at 3pm and 8pm on 2nd October!
 
Cool.

Didnt know Virgin 1 will replace FTN. Still, FTN is shit, never anything decent on when i tune in.

mostly i catch that Most Haunted bollocks.
 
I was PO'd cos FTN started showing X Files from the beginning again just recently. Then I thought bugger that, and just watched it on DVD.

Another pleasant casualty is ABC1, Not bothered to see the back of that, a channel which has been showing the same programmes again and again for as far back as I can remember.

Replacing that, and nicking some of UK History's late night hours is a new channel called Dave. It used to be UKTVGold2, but now it's called Dave. Dumb marketing, dunno about the programmes though. Fingers crossed that it will have Red Dwarf.
 
[trigger]"Aw'wiite, Dave?"[/trigger] :lol:

Hope its got some decent stuff on it then. The humour in the name gives us a clue, if thats intended that is.
 
What's happening to ABC1 (won't miss it - after the 1000th time Scrubs loses its funny)?

Never thought of Virgin 1 having limited hours. Bit of a shame as I'd have liked some daytime ST, but it'll be nice to see some Voyager on TV anyway.
 
Actually, I checked my epguide and it looks as if Virgin will be running 24 hours. It either got the air time from ABC1 or UKTV Bright Ideas. Both of which die.

And to take this thread even further off topic, while I say Ds9 lined up in the schedules, I also saw Knight Rider :D
How cool is that?
 
I can't wait for enterprise on Virgin 1 I may finaly get to see "Cease Fire." By the way does anybody know if it is only freeview that has the limited viewing times?
