New channel TVXtra

[Heathray]

From TVX, available by pressing interactive button on 969. Just licensed by Ofcom.When does it start, what content etc?

[blackjaques]

Well, in cynical mode, I believe it will be heavily censored on the pretence of protecting children from erotic images.

If it's tvx it will be soft.

[Lex Luger]

Is this free? Or do you have to subscribe to all the TVX channels?

[Ned]

Probably just one of those channels showing the same stuff on an extra hour's delay, designed specially for slow wankers....

[Heathray]

And for once I asked a straight question. Ah well.

I think (but I could be wrong) it's an "Sky News" type of interactive service where you can see other "things" during the main show and you can view it during the Call Girls prog before encryption.

BUT don't quote me on it as I'm sure I've seen it advertised somewhere but can't remember where. Could have been the Sky Magazine....

[Television X]

Television Xtra will be a whole new channel with a completely separate schedule to TVX, TVX2 and TVX3. It will have themed weeks and no programme will be repeated.

It literally is a whole new channel, not a '+1' channel, nor a weekly round-up or any other such. It's simply a new channel automatically available within the Sky package to give the viewer even more variety and programming choice.

As it is adult material, it is not available before encryption, and yes, it will abide by OFCOM's transmission laws. The law is the law after all!

I hope that helps.

[Heathray]

When does it go live as a matter of interest?

[Ned]

No offence meant.

A weak joke about viewers who are slow to come needing the +1 version as well as the original.
