• U&Gold

    From Davey@davey@example.invalid to uk.telecom on Fri May 8 11:11:38 2026
    From Newsgroup: uk.telecom

    In the Radio Times, it describes the one-off edition of 'Open All
    Hours: Inside Story', broadcast yesterday on U&Gold. This is a
    subscription service, to which I do not have access, but at the bottom
    of the piece, it says: 'Catch up via U'. But on my Humax, which has
    several catch-up options available, including 'U', it is not listed,
    which is not really surprising, as Gold is not listed as one of the four available 'U' channels.

    Is the Radio Times misleading in what it says, when it implies that it
    is freely available if you go online? Or should it be available, but for
    some reason it is not? I would like to see this programme.

    I think it was a simple error by the Radio Times. I also saw the preview
    note about the programme and checked to see if it was on one of the "U" Freeview channels. When I saw it was in the Satellite, Cable and Sport
    section (along with U&Alibi) I assumed it wouldn't be available freely
    on Catch Up via U. If you're lucky it might appear on U&Yesterday some time.

    Indeed, probably the best bet.

    A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on
    its shoes.

    No, but thanks for looking. The one I want was first broadcast on
    Thursday this week, with the title I gave. And it was on Gold.
