Many people record a TV programme simply because there are two programmes they want to watch on at the same time, so they watch one and record the other for later viewing. There can be an alternative to this which many people are not aware of. Several channels now repeat their programmes one hour after the initial broadcast and these can be viewed on other Freeview channels, namely :-
Freeview channel 13 Channel 4 + 1
" 27 ITV2 + 1
" 29 E4 + 1
" 33 ITV1 + 1
" 44 Channel 5 + 1
So for example this evening "Come Dine with Me" will be on Channel 4 at 7.35 and repeated on Channel 4 + 1 at 8.35. The Freeview channels given are for my Granada region but I would imagine they are much the same in other regions. It was only recently that I discovered these repeat channels so I hope some of you find them useful as they can save you having to record programmes.
