I have updated the NTL channel number, but don't know if the number on Telewest was changed to match NTL's. - Lee Stanley 16:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Just as a note; When UKTV G2 changes to Dave, the content should possibly be moved to Dave (TV channel), which is currently a redirect page to UKTV G2. TubularWorld 14:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, that makes sense. Have UKTV G2 redirect there. Prking68 15:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Does anybody know why it changed from UKtvG2 to Dave? I cant really see the point of it because everything is same, including the font of the channel name in the top left corner so I'm lost as to why this has happened. any news anyone? Prem4eva ^Talk 23:42, 15 October 2007

The BBC reported that "the new name is based on the idea that 'everyone knows a bloke called Dave'." and that "Changing the channel name to Dave enables us to create a strong and noisy personality for the channel that immediately aligns us with our core 16-34 male audience."

The previous channel on Freeview (in North Wales at least) was UKTV History, rather than UKTV G2.

Please confirm, and if neccesary, change.

Same here. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 12:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I just tried to add that Dave is on the channel on which UKTV History was formerly on but I was reverted. The UKTV History website says "If History appears on channel 19 (and you can see Dave on channel 12) then you also need to rescan your box. ". Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 20:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Dave takes the space and hours of UKTV History and UKTV History takes the old UKTV Bright Ideas space. Whether you are talking about the channel number or channel bandwidth. --AxG ^{@ ►talk} 20:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

This section reads awkwardly, Why do we need to mention what happened to UKTV History? Surely that is something for the UKTV History article. Prking68 15:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Because in reality Dave replaced UKTV history and they just swapped channel numbers over. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 01:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Have moved it back to Dave (channel) which as the station has now been renamed is the correct location, please don't move it back to UKTV G2. cheers MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 17:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Why has the schedule grid being deleted? Yes, I know Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, but (削除) a lot (削除ここまで), no, all of the main US channels have one! And there's a few pages known as:

• 2007-08 United States network television schedule
• 2006-07 United States network television schedule
• 2005-06 United States network television schedule
• 2004-05 United States network television schedule
• 2003-04 United States network television schedule
• 2002-03 United States network television schedule
• 2001-02 United States network television schedule
• 2000-01 United States network television schedule

And many more (they go back to the '40s!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomm3 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

How can you verify that Iain Lee announces for Dave? I've never, ever heard him on Dave. I've only heard Ralph and Phill. -- Ehh Mon Ehh 07:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

We can't verify ANY of the announcers. If you listen during the week from about 7:00PM to 10:00PM you'll hear Iain Lee. Having said that, I've been concerned for a while that mentions of ANY of the announcers is original research unless we can find reliable sources. -- JediLofty ^User _Talk 09:02, 18 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Wondered if this is worth mentioning in the article- at least 3 BBC shows now (Mock the Week, Top Gear and Harry and Paul) have taken shots at Dave's love of repeats and how the episodes in question will one day be treated as such once they reach the channel. One such quote from Top Gear has even been used in recent adverts for the show on the channel.--HellCat86 (talk) 18:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

It seems that Dave isn't going to be showing this anymore. The advert has stopped, it isn't in any TV guides, and the website has remove any mention of the show.

Dave have now started announcing BBC produced programmes as 'created by the BBC, chosen by Dave'. They say this now for nearly every single BBC produced programme but I can't find any source stating any reason why. Alexsutton (talk) 12:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Dave has started to produce a number of original programmes exclusive to the channel, for example Argumental and Batteries Not Included. Perhaps it would be a good idea to list these separately from the other current programming on Dave as they are unique to the channel. Andy1704 (talk) 18:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm slightly puzzled why no-one's mentioned the rollout of Dave+1, and the subsequent rebranding to Dave Ja Vu... Mittfh (talk) 10:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

"During the airing of the Red Dwarf miniseries the Dave DOG in the top left corner of the screen had the word 'Lister' added after it in the same font after the show's lead character"

Either the show was aired multiple times with different DOGs or this is made up. I just checked and the DOG on the copy of Red Dwarf I have says "Dave Brand New". 121.44.201.39 (talk) 13:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Yeah, it said 'Dave Lister' when I watched it. Maybe they didn't use that DOG again after the initial broadcast. Zestos (talk) 15:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

The ratings were actually alot higher for Red Dwarf: Back to Earth especially including repeats from the monday. Source - http://reddwarf.co.uk/news/2009/06/26/back-to-earth-natterings/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.182.123 (talk) 00:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Why oh why does Dave constantly repeat programmes. I enjoy QI in particular and most other Dave comedy shows but I am heartily sick of the constant repeats. There are many QI shows that have not been televised so do the viewers a favour and buy some more - soon.
