NIK Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Captain Kernow said: Although we are supposed to get UKTV catch-up on our TV, it never works and is described as 'unavailable'. I can watch it on my desktop PC, however, but I then have to sit through the interminable adverts (good time to make a cup of tea). One good reason, therefore, to record it on the 'set-top' box and speed through the adverts. My sister has an early smart TV and since December it no longer supports ITV Hub.

Trying to get back on topic, for some reason UKTV channels dont appear on my freeview listing - but again can solve with chromecast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuoitsPlayer Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 So are the TT sets going to be like the OO sets as the early unpainted TT Pullmans clearly had lit table lamps and those in The Scotsman set have the brass effect like yhe older OO pullmans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Great idea sending me an email telling me to watch a TV programme that starts at 8PM at Mon, 16 Jan at 20:46 Quote Set your alarms in preparation for episode one tonight at 8pm on Yesterday Channel These manufacturers and retailers really do need to work on their communications with the public. it's not just Hornby, I've had a few ill thought out emails over the last few weeks.

Whilst it only seems to be a placeholder for possible future use, wouldn't "Yesterday +1" simply become "Today"? 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted January 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Really enjoyed episode one. The TT range looks really good - shame that the condition of my eyesight is in inverse proportion to improvements in small scale model fidelity. This is the kind of programme that puts a big grin on my face. Cheers Darius Edited January 17, 2023 by Darius43 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2023 Recorded the first instalment and watched this morning. The TT:120 coaches looked good (much better than I expected), "Limping Scotsman" less so, though they appeared to get that sorted later, and I enjoyed the "Rocket Science" It wouldn't wean me off Quiz Night on BBC2 if I couldn't watch both, though! What's that definition of Earth from The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy? "Mostly harmless". John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I just cant take him seriously . These exchanges give the impression of being impromptu but you know are being acted out , like the TT discussion for instance. But its an interesting program - i did enjoy the top 10 , even though they wouldn't have been mine . I'd have thought the original Hornby Dublo Sir Nigel Gresley would have been up there . It is actually what kicked off Hornby 00 even though the company as we know it was mainly derived from Tri-ang or Rovex and took over the name Hornby, but better not mention that !

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted January 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2023 From reading this thread, Simon Kohler seems to be the “KR Models” of the model railway TV world considering the vitriol hurled his way on this website. I enjoy his enthusiasm on the programmes and am not naive enough to expect the “meetings” in his office to be real events. As Phil indicated earlier, this is an entertainment programme for all viewers not a fly on the wall documentary. Cheers Darius 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darius OK, I suppose - if you like that sort of thing; it's basically an extended advert. I can't say that I got much entertainment from it, so I now avoid it. I wonder when Bachmann etc. will get their own dedicated programmes? CJI. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
