Just a very simply one this, how much notice will we get before the launch night as to what channels and how they can be viewed will we get?.

You view them by switching your TV on and selecting the appropriate channel number (except for one channel which is encrypted).

Everyone loves a smart arse, will we get the channel numbers the night of the launch or a few days beforehand, likewise will we have to retune our Freeview/Sky boxes, because of a likely channel rearrangement.

You don't retune a Skybox, it updates automatically. Some Freeview boxes auto-update and some don't.

As for the new Bluebird channels, they are being phased in between June and September. It should be obvious flicking through the 900s which channels have changed, but perhaps there will be a break of a day or two between changeovers, with a Bluebird caption or promo clip on screen to identify it.

Also, I'm sure the forum-loving Mr B will ensure we are well aware of his launch schedules. I believe Hexit is now his chief spokesman.

why bring me into it....

BB and me have come to a mutual understanding... so get over your pretentious self.

Yes you're wrong. Bluebird seem to have acquired a Sky slot which Cellcast have ceased broadcasting on anyway. That has nothing to do with Freeview at all and any Freeview slots would have to be acquired separately.

So what your saying is that Cellcast have still got Partyland on ch97 Freeview. Oh well thats a shame then as I believe that there is no more room on Freeview to put another channel on. So will not be seeing Bluebird on freeview. Dam

We have acquired an existing Freeview channel and we are in discussions re others.

So we will be on Freeview.

Thanks

Do we know what we are likely to be seeing of the girls on the encrypted channel ? Are any of the girls (i.e., Amanda, Delta) likely to be showing pink ?

Also have you decided whether it'll be a nightly fee or a monthly fee ? And what will the price be ?

Regards

We haven't finalised the pricing.

As to strength of content: without giving too much away at this stage, you'll be entertained by a lot more than just Pink Just one of the benefits of having Babechannels produced by the UK's biggest adult film producer

2-4-1: that's so yesterday.
On Bluebird TV it's 6-4-1: and more

One of my main bugbears with these channels is the general poor image quality, both in terms of bandwidth (low resolution and digital artifacts when the model moves) and lighting (burnt out flesh tones), so if you could offer something more professional it would make you stand out straight away.

Our Bluebird tech team are in the middle of that right now.
For the $$$ we're paying, it better be top quality !
