    Sadly I think this is just one program per week (but I'll be happy to have that :))

    " the Horticultural Channel will broadcast on Sunday mornings from 9am on the Information TV channel, which is available on Sky channel 166 and Freesat 402.

    London-based production firm Interfusion Films has already started making programmes for the channel. All shows will be repeated on Information TV the following Friday at 8.30pm.

    Need a good contract now, so I can get Freesat. Think its about £170 including installation.

    Have you looked to see if you have the Information Channel on your box yet, Marley?? I think that one of the presenter is an ex-editor of the Amateur Gardening magazine so hopefully it will be a well rounded program.

    Bit torrent = Illegal file sharing format, I say illegal as generally they are of copyrighted material such as films, tv, pc games and software. But torrents also have a high proportion of malware/spyware coded into them. It like having a gorgeous bowl of strawberries then finding one has a naga chilli in it :rofl:

    No need (I think) as (I think) the plan is that they will be available on their web site post-broadcast.

    Hi. I am Sean James Cameron, Producer of The Horticultural Channel.tv and just wanted to reply to the above post. Our programmes are broadcast on Information TV which is a FREE channel so you won't have to upgrade your packages.

    If your not on Sky or Freesat then you can watch the shows on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/horticulturalchannel or download it via iTunes Store (free) at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-horticultural-channel-tv/id406031852

    You can also follow us on our facebook page and watch behind-the-scenes videos that will pop up throughout the series at http://www.facebook.com/thehorticulturalchanneltv

    Hope that helps everyone. There is also listings information at the bottom of the page at http://www.thehorticulturalchannel.tv or http://www.thehortchannel.tv

    Hope you enjoy the shows when they begin in March. We were filming in Greenwich yesterday and it was very windy. Hopefully some nice weather will come so we can film in the sunshine!

    Thank you for your support.

    Looks as though I shall have to try and watch it on You Tube as we don't have sat or cable.
