    Right according to mediabullet this was supposed to be tested between 7 and 8am on 268 the friendly channel

    Well i setup me VCR to see if it was and guess what it wasnt, all i got was an hours worth of the flaming landscape channel.

    So stupid question, when someone tests a signal do you get to actually see summit onscreen or not

    Just wondering

    Friendly TV are a bit of a disaster, so I wouldn't get my hopes up regarding anything they were promising.

    I thought we already had a wrestling channel, it's called Sky Mix afaik :D What a rubbish channel, they must have had about 10 hours of brutally bad wrestling programs in a row one day over the weekend.

    Friendly TV's owner is betting stg£1,000 over on digitalspy that there'll be no f..k ups with the Wrestling CHannel. Hmmm, can a leopard change its spots, pretty muich everything Friendly have done so fare has gone arse over tit.

    Coupled this morning with the fact that there was absolutely no sound just pictures for the last half an hour or so of the mat mayhem programme.

    Wonder could the wrestling channel signal be put somewhere else as this friendly channel just doesnt seem to give a ****

    Maybe ... this guy approaches TV companies with offers of free/subsidised carriage on Friendly ... that's where NASA TV and the Landscape channel came from.

    The owner was betting that the video output of programs which will be screened on the wrestling channel(when its launched) would be shown on Friendly Tv with out any f...ups.

    This isnt a "test signal" for the wrestling channel as some have called it, its quite simply, the wrestling channel screening programs on Friendly Tv.

    The channel itself will launch soon, it mostly shows English wrestling and some classic US wrestling, amusing in that its got an amateur feel to it.
