[edit] Telewest channel number

I have updated the NTL channel number, but don't know if the number on Telewest was changed to match NTL's. - Lee Stanley 16:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sadff.gif

Image:Sadff.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dave

Just as a note; When UKTV G2 changes to Dave, the content should possibly be moved to Dave (TV channel), which is currently a redirect page to UKTV G2. TubularWorld 14:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that makes sense. Have UKTV G2 redirect there. Prking68 15:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

Does anybody know why it changed from UKtvG2 to Dave? I cant really see the point of it because everything is same, including the font of the channel name in the top left corner so I'm lost as to why this has happened. any news anyone? Prem4evaTalk 23:42, 15 October 2007

The BBC reported that "the new name is based on the idea that 'everyone knows a bloke called Dave'." and that "Changing the channel name to Dave enables us to create a strong and noisy personality for the channel that immediately aligns us with our core 16-34 male audience." (By the way, you need to add a closing sup tag to your signature!) -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong "previous bandwidth occupier"

The previous channel on Freeview (in North Wales at least) was UKTV History, rather than UKTV G2.

Please confirm, and if neccesary, change.

Same here. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 12:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I just tried to add that Dave is on the channel on which UKTV History was formerly on but I was reverted. The UKTV History website says "If History appears on channel 19 (and you can see Dave on channel 12) then you also need to rescan your box. ". Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 20:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Dave takes the space and hours of UKTV History and UKTV History takes the old UKTV Bright Ideas space. Whether you are talking about the channel number or channel bandwidth. --AxG @ ►talk 20:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
This section reads awkwardly, Why do we need to mention what happened to UKTV History? Surely that is something for the UKTV History article. Prking68 15:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Because in reality Dave replaced UKTV history and they just swapped channel numbers over. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 01:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Have moved it back to Dave (channel) which as the station has now been renamed is the correct location, please don't move it back to UKTV G2. cheers MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 17:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hmm... Scheduel grid has been deleted

Why has the schedule grid being deleted? Yes, I know Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, but a lot, no, all of the main US channels have one! And there's a few pages known as:

And many more (they go back to the '40s!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomm3 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
