UK Gold is having an annoying reshuffle on Monday which means that EastEnders is on at 6:25- same time as Classic coronation street. I like to watch both, but now I can't as NTL aren't doing UK Gold 2 at the moment. Im at school when the other 2 showings of EE are on. Its annoyinghttp://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/shocked.gif

I noticed this aswell, and it's a real pain in the neck! They only done a reshuffle a few months ago! Why can't they just leave it alone.Sad

What do you mean that NTL can't do UK Gold 2 are they stopping it or is it that you are in an original NTL area as I'm in an ex-Cable & Wireless area which has had UK Gold 2 since CWC Digital started in 1999. Or do you have NTL analogue because it would be a bit crappier without Gold 2 when you have Gold (1) http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/confused.gif

I thought UK Gold showed EE about 4 times a day so can't you watch it at another time?

Can't you tape it?

My Mum turns the box off at night, so even setting an autotune reminder would mean I'd have to get up after she'd gone to bed to turn the box on. Coronation street has the Sunday omnibus, but It's not the point. I'd rather wahtch the single episodes than an omnibus.

Did UK Gold cancel the Eastenders omnibus a few months ago? It's a shame you couldn't tape that but I remembered it got cancelled.

Options

Tape Eastenders at 8.25 I think
Corrie at 9.00 Leave an auto reminder and it should be OK I guess. If not tape Corrie at lunch?

Or get £ 35 call NTL and ask for a second box to be installed.

£ 9.95 a month for Box rental and all your channels again.

£ 25.00 one-off for Installation.

It worked for me!

We do have a 2nd box but there isn't a video on it as my suister nicked it. My mum watches cable through the day so I can't set the TV for it. I've asked countless times for a box in my room, and offered to pay for it but the answer is 'NO!'.

Neither do we in TW AD land, well we do get a **** poor interactive service but let's not talk about that!

And to james2001, if you want to watch it, you will have to put yourself out and either watch the Corrie omnibus when it's on OR get up in the middle of the night and turn on the box! You can't really blame the schedulers because you are put out! At least they are showing new stuff!
