Insight Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 For those that have UBC here... Not all of it can be complete pants, can it? Flicking around I occasionally catch something worth watching, but never am aware what time it started, or when to catch it again. That’s why I thought about starting this thread. Know about a film/programme that might be of interest to the rest of us? Please note it down here along with date/time(s). Thanks in advance!

Longsands Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I often have a major problem downloading the UBC schedule so don't bother with it. Also, the UBC guide is only delivered once in a blue moon. Unfortunately, UBC IS pants, although as most things are repeated ad infinitum you don't have to wait that long if you missed something worthwhile! Once my local cable can guarantee the Premier League, then I'll switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 The only program I never miss is Top Gear. Thursday and repeated again on Sunday. UBC aint that bad, its better than cable in my opinion - no Fox News, which should be made compulsory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time of a weekday evening I've got to watch it, and don't think I've caught it before of a weekday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Something that I stumbled across recently that some might be interested in. Saturday nights around 8-9pm on CH 55 (CNBC) they have an oldish movie showing. Problem is, it clashes with the EPL matches. A few weeks ago they showed 'Kes' set upt' in Yorkshire. Man, it brought back some memories that did. The UBC mag is crap now especially with the smaller print. I can't <deleted>' read the listings now cos it's so small. Also the mag doesn't list BBC or CNBC programs anymore. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Top Gear is indeed the only thing in the whole of UBC's channels that I really try to catch. I think it's 8:30pm on Thursday. Don't know what time the Sunday repeat is. I think they should repeat it more often. This programme is so brilliant it's worth buying that TV/video capure card for to plug into my PC.. Not sure if you can still download episodes from the BBC website? Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Ah shucks.. just some shows available for download. But my all time favorite one is listed, the Toyota Hilux one. Get it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatter than harry Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I love Hallmark's fine line in 'straight to video' movies. Also famous book adaptations that include Tom Selleck as leading man, he's dreamy.... I should move this to the gay forum, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, best show on UBC right now is Arrested Development on Saturday nights at 9:30 on ubc series. Funny shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 ...I don't really enjoy scanning through TV listings, especially when there's no impartial criticism...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had the same problem - so I wrote a little batch file on my PC. I download the schedule (ubcschedule.zip) from here http://www.ubctv.com/eng/UBCMag.aspx, unzip all the text file schedules, and the batch file searches them for specific text and produces a mini listing of all the stuff I'm interested in - much better than the crappy search facility that UBC provides.

kenkannif Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 As a TV addict I watch some total crap, I won't deny. But: On AXN The Shield on Mondays 9pm is wicked! Alias Tuesdays 9pm is good. The Amazing Race and CSI on Wednesdays 8pm and 9pm respectively. Also UBC series has: Malcolm in the Middle on Saturday morning 11.30am (and it's on in the evening as well I can't remember when though). The Simpsons and Arrested Development on 9pm and 9.30pm Saturday (Cold Squad on just before is okay as well). They're also both repeated on Sunday afternoon. Curb Your Enthusiasm on Sunday around 7pm or so is also very good! The Apprentice while a bit cheesey is entertaining and is on Friday at 8pm and repeated Sunday afternoon. Scrubs on Tuesday at 9pm is also excellent (but clashes with Alias!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowspole Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ahem.The West wing. AXN 10pm Tuesday nights <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's on UBC Series (36) not AXN. What's the following got in common? (Apart from all being unbelievably crap) Life with Bonnie I'm with Her Married to the Kellys Good Morning Miami Whoopi A Minute with Stan Hooper Cedric the Entertainer They've all been cancelled after one or two series because they so <deleted> dire. Good ole UBC buys this garbage probably cos' they're cheap and then has the gall to play them at their prime 9pm slot. On a positive note, I watched The Shield for the first time this week and really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Top Gear is on in about 15 minutes on BBC. The menu says "Dreamspaces" but that is just UBC getting it wrong. I think its on also on Sunday around 4 ish ?? - definately afternoon anway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this group of sad old guys and their job was to pretend they were all really highly successful 30-something businesmen. They then competed to see who could get the youngest girl to join them for a drink by flashing around their money and then... Oh wait, that wasn't UBC, I was just at Soi Cowboy...
