With Coloured Rocks Limited officially changing its name to The Genuine Gemstone Company Limited, it appears the Bennett's are planning on launching the Rocks TV brand in the US. And hopefully so much has been learnt and taken on board from 'old management Gems TV'/Gems TV USA and to prevent...

Oh my goodness, what has just appeared on Gems TV? There was nothing wrong with the 2009 graphics, with the recent tweaks applied. The whole point of changing them from the 2008 rebranded orange/green ones was to have less clutter onscreen and have less garish colours! No doubt they will...

The 'extended hours' are only available to areas that have already completed the Digital Switchover and that those post-switchover regions that are not relays and carry the full 6 mux DTT service. The London region, along with Meridian, Tyne Tees and Ulster regions are yet to switch. More...

Just been watching TJC and its been announced that TJC has secured a 24 hour stream on DTT. The channel will be added to DTT between now and 2pm and will be found on channel 60. Another retune will be needed (if you haven't already done so for Challenge switching streams with Pick TV+1...

They are terrible! They have crammed far too much info in such a small space. IMO, here is an example of their graphics from 2008. They vary ever so slightly from their original ones on launch day. Clear and look good and haven't been hacked to pieces like the ones just replaced...

Anybody else get the feeling they are trying to turn into a cross between a more downmarket version of QVC/Argos TV with these changes!?

Both Gems TV and Gems TV Extra have them every hour. It's just another selling technique to offer items at a slightly lower price and do a bit of PR, especially to new viewers and ones watching/joining through stumbling on channel 43!

It was producer Hannah. Have no idea what her surname was as I missed the 'top of the hour' I do agree, much more relaxed and calmer than some of the other presenters. Much more watchable I've heard it been said before that new presenters/fill-ins use Steve's name until they are added onto...

The most likely reason is that they are suffering from a powercut, as their website www.gems.tv is also down. Would also explain the lack of communication via their twitter and facebook pages :wink2: Hopefully everything will get restored soon (although looks like its been an hour already...

So today marks the 1st anniversary when Steve Bennett saved Gems TV UK from going bust. But it appears everybody has forgotten it. This time last year would have been a very different story. How is this important date not been mentioned/recognised? Compared to 'Old Gems TV', are we happy with...

Looks like all 3 0845 numbers are down, so for a limited time, you can call them for the same price it costs for you ring your next door neighbour (although, they will work regardless of the 0845 ones working or not :wink2: ) 01527 406 181 for Gems TV 01527 406 186 for Gems TV Extra 01527...

Indeed they did loobi. Back in the spring/summer 2009. They even did handbags that didn't even have ANY gemstones. Thank goodness that management team are long gone and The Bennett's are here! Here's an example LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KkWl4Il5hw Enjoy! :cool:

I understand gents jewellery costs more to make due to the larger sizes and what not but could we not see a little bit more gents jewellery? and with even more variety of stones and jewellery? More metal based bracelets! Necklaces! etc. It's such a shame us guys have to lump it with just loose...

DOG - Digital Onscreen Graphic or in other words, the on screen channel logo. Another observation - good to finally see the Gems TV Extra ticker updated to now say they are live between 8am and 2am and not 1am! Any chance a proper DOG is going to be introduced on Jewellery Maker?

Gems TV finally has proper EPG listings! At long last, after 10 months of useless 'GemsTV' / 'Genuine Gemstone Jewellery' on the Sky EPG, we finally have listed themed hours as of today, however Gems TV currently has the Gems TV Extra listings and Extra has listings that mostly don't match...

I have only managed to find a couple of old Gems TV items online; a couple included the last of the COATED Pink Diamonds. I wonder if somebody had made a bulk buy or Steve decided to take them down and reserve them for the online auctions? At least that way they will all go and get sold

Gem Collector had the 0845 50 50 656 number. So, its not new to the company and made sense as Rocks and Gem Collector merged and was rebranded at the same time as Gems TV Extra

I have a feeling the reason why is because the EPG slot has/will be sold and is another way to make money. Like I've said before, I would have done this: 647 Gems TV 652 Gems TV Extra 655 Jewellery Maker or 647 Gems TV 655 Gems TV Extra 656 Jewellery Maker at least Gems TV would have been on...

I'm not sure if it’s been discussed before, but as a photography student currently in my 2nd year of my foundation degree who has done studio and product photography, I am appalled at the quality of the product shots used on all the CR websites. Diamonds are meant to be pure white, not like snow...

From what I can gather, following on from what Barry wrote on Facebook and also other posters on here, Gem Collector as a seperate channel will end at the end of this month. Rocks TV and the live auctions will shift over to 656 and at the same time get a new look and name - Gems TV Extra (Note...
