No Heroes

No Heroes on BBC1 HD next Monday.

Is this just the usual catch up for the SD broadcasts prior to a double episodeto conclude the present series? Will Series Link work even if I've deleted the episode?

Re: No Heroes

Not sure. It was on BBC3 last night so assume it will be on next week. The next episode was shown in the US yesterday so no break from them.

Re: No Heroes

It's because the final of the World Snooker Championships concludes on bank holiday Monday and will be shown on BBC2.

Re: No Heroes

LOL - you never heard of a PVR or SKY +

You pay for what you get these days. Also no waiting 2 weeks for it to start over here.

Was a Sky customer until I realised what they were charging was way too much for all I was watching.

Because Sky do the best programmes and air them one week later then the US. Lost / 24 / Ross Kemp / Fringe / Prison Break - all in HD and DD.

Would Sky make you wait 2 weeks to see the last episode of Lost? Hmmm some how I do not think so.

Do Sky mess about trying to promote other channels (BBC3) by airing one episode ahead of normal schedule? Same as Channel 4 and E4 (Shameless)

Total joke that BBC3 are one episode ahead of BBC HD. They should be equal.
My friend watches the BBC3 episodes and we can never talk about the show because I do not want any spoilers.

Re: No Heroes

Or maybe Sky know what their viewers want (was going to say they care about their viewers/customers, but that might be pushig it a bit )and pay the big bucks to provide it and realise with popular shows that if you want to keep your audience, you've got to show things as soon after the US broadcast as possible or you risk losing viewers to downloads.
