TVX Scheduling

[Mysteryman]

Could anyone, preferably from TVX, please explain why for the last number of months, the scheduling on TVX1 as it appears on the Sky Planner, has rarely coincided with the programmes actually transmitted?

More often than not it is the timings that are wrong but some advertised programmes fail to appear and now we have the cheapskate "show it twice a night" regime which has also crept on to TVX2.

There are plenty of films out there that can be shown and plenty of people looking for work.

All comments welcome.

Newspaper are even worse they rarely get the right programs shown!

Simple. Because they could not give one flying fuck about their punters.

In answer to your question about scheduling not tieing in with actual shown programmes. This is because the scheduling is done well ahead of time in order to meet deadlines and 'last minute' changes cannot therefore be catered for. It was a 'last minute' decision to move TVX Callgirls from TVX1 to TVX3 which then created a two and a half hour space in the TVX1 scheduling. This is why the advertised programmes and the actual ones shown didn't tally up. It will all come right in time - keep watching! Ric Porter

Rico,

This was going on for months before the move of Callgirls from 1 to 3. It isn't substitutions that are the pain, its the fact that the schedule slips throughout the night making recording hit and miss.

Hundreds of other channels on Sky manage to keep their schedules to time.

It also conveniently fails to address the practice of twice a night showings of lots of progs thereby reducing the content we pay good money for.

these channels are utter bobbins, why are people bothering?!
