It would appear on this matter Carl is spot on , so apologies to him. I asked the question on DS forum.

Seems a crazy situation for BBC One viewers.

Reading later posts on that thread it appears to be a contentious subject.

Hey MB.

Any chance there's a ReallyHD in the pipeline?

Seriously?!?

I believe one of their lines is "you can't make it up" Um, its a t.v station that actually shows fictional (made up) t.v. programs. I guess I am just too big a cynic of that very pointless tag line, and am taking it all too seriously.

Yet another powder puff, pointless station showing pretty pointless programs no other channel really wants or needs any more.

Still I guess it counts as content

The 5 million people who watched it last week may disagree with you.

Indeed. I do only watch one show on there - Covert Affairs - but wouldn't mind it being in HD and I don't really want to have to wait the six months until WatchHD show it

I would prefer that staying to any music channel - ( which I never watch -surprise surprise)really how many do you need !? natural history channels, or one like E! . Having said that I rarely look at it either. But I just love Alibi In my mind music is the "count" programmes ! live and let live I guess

Anyyone know what Really was called before UK TV gave (stupidly IMHO) all their channels new names?

Really seems a strange place to put Covert Affairs.

Thanks for that Spiderplant. Interesting info.

I do like the way that various UKTV channels have started picking up US drama, that maybe otherwise would have gone to Sky. Lets hope it continues with the new 2012/13 shows. Especially as Sky has shunted two of their four recently anounced aquisitions to Atlantic.

I do like the "light weight" USA dramas scattered around the channels.
Have enough to keep me going for a while !

However as a NON user of wish lists ,what would I need to put in to find more - shall I say ones on less well known channels?

Currently watching Castle - Alibi , CSI -5 Rizolie & Isles - Warner TV
Once up on a time -5, Body of Proof- Alibi & I loved Heroes when it was on - no idea what was happening but still
TV, I watch to relax. Books are my "heavy weight" currently reading again
Hunchback of Notre Dame - Victor Hugo

You can't because they don't have anything in common; except maybe a genre , but even then a 'drama' WL will pick far more than "light-weight US dramas on less well-known channels"

Thanks that confirms what I thought. Rely on trips to US* & TV mags to spot them. Thought about putting in wish list(If only I could remember titles!) but so far managed to find myself *Were the boss "found " Royal Pains" & "18 Kids & counting" that led to others - wish she hadn`t but there you go.
