The Hangover and Dog Day afternoon are on UTV tonight whilst UTV Ireland have a three hour stage version of Peter Pan and a repeat of the Cube. Awful!

Especially when John Cazale is your favourite actor too.

I prefer Liam.

The only viewers they will get are Sky viewers that use 116 instead of going the other channels route, they will think they are getting good ratings where the net effect would be zilch

For people that watch the soaps that tv3 used to have, it's a massive advantage having them now in hd on the sky epg for recording etc.

Isn't TV3 going HD in the summer for the RugbyWorldCup, as i heard that was the reason for it.

How many shows have UTVI got exclusively from TV3 inc Graham Norton, but i see the new series tonight on TV3+3e?

Could we combine a protest about this ****e with the water charge brigade and get a movement going. Protest thing or sadmehtinng.,
I is not smoking nothing.

They are now showing an old episode of Foyle's War while the new one goes out on UTV. These clowns aren't just amateurs, they're incapable. No worries, it should be available for downloading after 10 PM.
This joke of a student channel should be over by midyear and I pray nobody hires the soon-to-be unemployed staff. Maybe the zoo can house them in the monkey section.

Mr Frog · 04-01-2015 10:08pm

Where is Foyles War series 8 ??? UTV Ireland is showing series 6 !!!

Thats guaranteed to pee a lot of viewers off.

Let's hope this and other problems over the last few days are simply teething issues.

Its series 9.. I'm downloading it now. ITV Ireland - the channel Dougal would have created if Fr. Ted let him.

Larbre34 · 05-01-2015 9:39am

So just because 'Britain' is in the title, UTV so-called 'Ireland' has stopped carrying Good Morning Britain in favour of six month old reruns of bottom fodder awfulness Loose Women. How the hell is that any more bloody Irish??

At least GMB has the news of the actual day, with Susanna Reid thrown in to ease the morning rush.

I thought UTV Ireland would be offered alongside old UTV rather than instead of it, im dismayed and i want standard UTV back.....

Max Headroom · 05-01-2015 9:59am

..AND theres no "on demand"...so we cant see Emmerdale/Corrie that we might have missed....:mad:

Mr Frog · 05-01-2015 10:13am

It really is a hopeless offering.

lertsnim · 05-01-2015 10:16am

The amount of whinging and moaning about this new channel really is something else. It has been said multiple times that UTV from Northern ireland is FTA on satellite. "But i'm a UPC customer". I guess you have a decision to make then

And you know this as fact?

The UTV Ireland Player works fine here.

Bit of a weird name. Ulster Television Ireland.

If there was a Cork Television that went national, you wouldn't expect it to be called Cork Television Ireland
It just feels a bit odd to have a regional name on a national station

It does feel kind of weird - but perhaps not quite as weird as "Television South Television"...

Discovery Shed had high ratings too when it went live. People are curious monkeys. And since when did a TV channel launch and the PR unemployables come out with anything other than "We're a hit, we are".

Frog Song · 05-01-2015 4:21pm

Haven't read through the whole thread so not sure if it's been mentioned but our UTV Ireland only comes on in the evening time on Saorview, it shows a test screen during the day. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It's on all day for me. I looked at it briefly this morning, turning it off after finding Jeremy Kyle on there. Are you sure you are looking at the right channel number? It is channel 6 on Saorview boxes. That might be different if you are using a non apporved box to receive Saorview channels.
