What a silly name for a TV channel. :p :

Yes. Apparently, it's because 'everyone has a mate called Dave'. I don't.

Sod ya then :p

Anyway, it's all marketing bowlarks designed to get us talking about the channel. And as such, it's working. Dave, apparently, is aiming to attract a young affluent audience.

Thing is though, I look at the EPG and select programmes I like, not channels. To those of us who are used to this technology, the concept of a "channel" is redundant. If Dave has good programmes I'll watch it, whatever it calls itself. If not, no amount of marketing guff will persuade me otherwise.

I thought I was seeing things when it came up on the EPG yesterday morning. I actually quite like it, even if it is daft. :D

The name Dave makes me laugh anyway, as it reminds of Rat Fan's infamous quote "I don't like cats called Dave". :laugh:

And last night I was told by Suzy that she knows a horse called Dave. :laugh:

Pretty much, although it's now acquired the British version of Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Other than that it's still UKTVBuzzcocks.

My friend swears he's never going to leave his room because of that channel.

I'm pretty sure he won't, he studies media afterall :p :

As well as Top Gear repeats. How do you think I managed to catch up on all the Top Gear episodes I never saw in the 6 months I was jobless? :cheese:

Yes. Apparently, it's because 'everyone has a mate called Dave'. I don't.

there was a movie titled 'Dave', about a man that was a look-alike for an ailing US President. :)
