I couldn't quite believe it when I saw an ad in the tube announcing a new channel: Channel 4 + 1:

That's right. It is the SAME channel, with a one hour delay. I guess we have kinda the same thing in the US with HBO East and West, but that is a touch different. The entire UK is on the same timezone!

I love how instead of using something like TiVo, you should have another channel that gives you ONE more chance to watch a show. Of course, many people have Sky+ which has PVR functionality. I can't wait for Channel 4 + 2.

It was also funny to see a couple of yanks taking pics in the tube.... and then take a second look and realize it was Matt Mullenweg and Om Malik (who are both speaking at the Future of Web Apps).
