Looking through the tv listings and have discovered that Sky arts is now on freeview. Some great documentaries on there. Tomorrow at 3pm there is a Fairport Convention special covering their 50 year history.

Just spotted that the channel had popped up on the listings this morning. Also Rolling Stones in Hyde Park on later today -- for ladies and gentlemen of a certain age! Beats all the talent shows and Little Mix type shite that's on nowadays. . .

I have that Stones concert recorded and watched it again only this week.

Sky Arts is probably the best channel for 60's, 70's and 80's music and Yesterday has some good Sounds of the 60's and 70's programmes.

It's a good channel. I got it when I got Virgin cable way back. Initially they had 2 channels, one was more "high brow" (opera, classical music, visual arts etc) the other more "popular" (quality end of IMO).

A few years ago they cut the channels to one which now is mixed. I'm not much interested in classical music/opera but they have some good cinema-related progs on where they look at the careers of specific directors/film stars; there was a very good Albert Finney one on recently.

The music stuff is good; Ive seen the Fairport prog before and really liked it. They've got a 2.5 hour prog tomorrow about The Hollies which I've not yet seen.

Taking out sports, this channel is one of the two or three I watch much. They do the old "Tales of the Unexpected" series during the day too- quite entertaining but Ive seen them all now. There are some great cast members in those half hour pieces; some already famous & some famous since. One of the few channels I bother checking the listings of each morning.

I didn't have to rescan Freeview. The channels just reconfigured themselves automaticaLLY on start-up and Sky Arts bobbed up on Channel 11. I can't remember for the life of me what, if anything, was there before.

'The Sixties' is an excellent mini series, news and events from the era with the best of the music.

I think it was Pick. (That's been put somewhere else on FV, but god knows where).

[Hendrickxz]

Yes, you ar right. It was Pick -- they showed somelive matches on it after the restart.
