I hope not, BBC2 can be quite a good channel, unlike the dire Beeb1

ITV , Channel 4 and Five all have established +1 channels

I think +1 usually means the exact same programmes are shown, but an hour later. Although that said, there's still already an option for that, called iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer is being revamped too.

About time too. With only a machine that can record two stations, my time window for recording all the unmissable BBC tele-visual feasts will be much wider. Even with iPlayer I still can't get enough.
Just think, you can watch The Football League Show twice, in real time. A full 42.6 seconds of Albion each and every week.
A veritable smorgasbord of pleasure for such a small outlay.

i wish they'd have a BIT of archived programmes on there. 4OD has loads of old comedies and documentaries etc. why can't iPlayer be similar?
get planet earth and all that....

That is where BBC Store comes in , the idea behind it is you buy the archived programmes and get to keep them

We're f'ing brilliant
I quite like them. Sometimes when I'm channel surfing I'll find something I like that's halfway through and I can either record or wait for it to start on +1.

Such a waste of time. In a few years people will think the idea of having a +1 channel is so quaint, when everyone can access the rest of the week's programmes via iPlayer direct onto their TV. I've never really got +1 anyway. It seems quite a specific circumstance to need a channel starting an hour later, why not two hours? Why not 24? Isn't the nature of TV programming that you occasionally miss things that you might have watched because you're out, I don't see how +1 helps massively.

Aren't they putting Radio One on TV too?
I actually find myself using +1 channels quite often, as has been mentioned it's quite good when you switch on halfway through a programme and you want to watch it from the start. I also use it sometimes if there are 2 programmes I want to watch on at the same time and I haven't set one to record.
When are they going to come out with -1 channels? Just think of the money you could make betting on football!

Er yes, I know!
Unless you are watching ITV1 +1 , ITV2 +1 , ITV3 +1 or ITV4 +1 and there is a caption on screen because certain films and programmes have been acquired without the rights to show them on a time shifted channel

But what if you turn on half an hour late for the +1 version? I understand what you're saying but surely by that definition there's no end to how many channels there ought to be.

For 5 years DMAX (one of the Discovery channels) had a +2 version on Sky until it was replaced 6 months ago by TLC +1

I player is rubbish to watch on a pc size screen and until it becomes a matter of just plugging into the TV to watch it, without a complicated fitting and setting up system it will not be any good.
