Mainstreet music channel

[Saxlicker]

Just some info
Within my sky package a new channel has recently appeared.
It is running lots of musical offerings but one prog in particular that seems to be on every nigt right now is Jazz in france
Numerous sax players have already appeared but I have only caught the prog by flicking the remote.
To date I have seen, Jean Tousant (I think), Phil Woods, Stan Getz, Jackie McClean and Benny Carter.

Its on as I type and its channel 271 on my box.

Are you related to the American trumpet player in a different topic, young Skywalker?

Darn, and I only have a DAB and a Freeview box. I used to have a NTL subscription, but I became irked and vexed with them, so it went back.

I hope you are refering to the theme tune and not comparing our talent levels 😉

I have Virgin/NTL and I have to keep unplugging it and rebooting. It does have theJazz radio station, though which is quite good.

Exactly my problem, constantly rebooting the blumen thing, and mine didn't have theJazz either. At least with Frreview the worst you get is a bit of interference when the odd motorbike goes past.

had ntl in my old flat and every time a bus went past (every 10 minutes or so) the tv and broadband would freeze and resetting kerfuffle would ensue

Cue a 'dissing ntl' thread I think, libel actions to follow >.<
