    I noticed today that "RTE N2 The Den" has appeared on channel no. 601. It only shows Network 2 while The Den is on & the rest is intermission.

    Whats the point in that, when everyone can get Network 2 as it is? :confused:

    What a silly, stupid pointless thing to do!!! :mad: Why the HELL can't they put something more worthwile on the channel like FX or the rest of uktv channels? I know that 102 and 601 channel share frequency 347.000MhZ, but come on!!! I wish they'd quit wasting EPG space :confused:

    We got it in Galway last night, so it's not just "The Den".

    I assume they are testing something.

    Presumably the idea is that kids will see this channel while flicking through the kids section of the EPG, and tune in...

    A marketing gimmick...
