Apparently the interactive services have launched on the UKTV channels (UK Gold, UK Style etc.)

Does anyone know whether or not they're available on the Irish service ? And if so, what are they like ?

its basically enhanced whats on now & next info for all of their channels. whatever chanel you were watching is displayed in a small screen at the top beside a list of now and next for all of their channels.
the bottom half is kinda like pressing the i button, and then some

but at least we have it and dont get not available in RoI message

Another annoying 'red dot' to have to remove each time you switch to the channel.

Well I sometimes think it's better to have the red dot than to have reddot and the services removed altogether.

E4, take note! :mad:

It seems that the red dot only appears for a few seconds after the ad breaks, so it's not there most of the time.

Another thing - I thought Living was part of the UKTV stable, but there's no listing for it in the interactive service.

It certainly used to be called UK Living, and the other UKTV channels carry trailers for programmes on it. does anyone know what the story is ?

They would both be related as Flextech own shares in both.

Maybe LivingTV is wholly owned by Flextech now? Related to Bravo and Trouble too (and SciFi, I think)
