SuperCasino launches... still no CNNI

A new gaming channel, SuperCasino has launched on Freeview channel 48. It basically features roulette with the opportunity to place your chips by phone or internet.

Now I have to say that although it's launched, my Top Up TV box can watch it fine, but my ordinary Freeview box hasn't twigged that it has launched and it still says "New Channel Please Wait" when I try to watch it.

Not that I will be watching it much longer. Like all gaming channels, this basically a load of crap. The boredom of having the same game every 3 minutes, does my head in. And the presenters, trying to be suave and sophisticated, and yet warm and friendly, basically comes across as Yeuch!

This is one channel that Freeview needs to lose, as quickly as it gained it.

On a related note, Nuts TV is still broadcasting, and there is no sign yet of CNNI. We know that Nuts TV is due to close this month, and information had leaked out that it was supposed to be yesterday, but apparently not. A lack of official information doesn't make this any better. There's also a degree of confusion over whether the channel will broadcast for 4 hours a day or 24 hours a day.

As soon as there is any information reported that seems credible, I will bring it to you.
