NetworkDecay can occasionally cause this in a formerly-independent channel. This can occasionally be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by the network running a spare timeshift channel temporarily in order to retain hold of an EPG position prior to a new channel launching- XLeague / Pulse did this with three(!) other channels, and Living TV had a +2 for a while, before it became Living HD.

* Discovery +1 (and +1.5)
* Nick 2 in the United States, and Nicktoons Network in the UK.

* Discovery:
**
Discovery +1, the first channel of its type in the United Kingdom. There was also a Discovery +1.5, which existed as a {{main/filler}} network from 2007-2008 until the space was utilized for Discovery Science +1.
** DMAX had no less than three timeshift services by 2008: DMAX+1, DMAX+1.5, and DMAX+2. The latter were removed to make way for Quest
+1 (and +1.5)
* Nick 2
and TLC +1 in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
*Nickelodeon:
** In
the United States, there was a secondary timeshift service on some high-end cable providers called Nick 2 beginning in 1999 (or Nick TOO prior to 2003), which repackaged Nickelodeon's Eastern and Pacific Time Zone feeds for the appropriate time zone. The brand was abolished in 2018 but the channel remains.
** Nick +1 and Nick Jr. +1 in the United Kingdom. The former originally launched as Nick Replay in 1999, and rebranded as Nick +1 in 2012. There was also a
Nicktoons Network in the UK.Replay (which itself replaced secondary network NickToonsters), but it was soon replaced with Nick Jr. +1.



* British satellite TV station DMAX is currently up to four channels - DMAX, DMAX+1, DMAX+1.5, and DMAX+2.

There are numerous examples on British satellite, freeview, and cable TV, including +1 versions of terrestrial networks such as Creator/Channel4 and Creator/{{ITV}}, though [[Creator/TheBBC the BBC]] (rather strangely) doesn't use them [[note]] The BBC originally announced plans for a Plus One channel in 2013, but this was eventually rejected by the BBC Trust. Apparently it was considered that it would be "unfair to their commercial rivals". Even though they already all have their own Plus One channels. Yeah...[[/note]].

For legal reasons too numerous (and too complex) to list here, occasionally, if the immediate repeat rights are unavailable for the +1 channel (which applies mostly to films, and even this is extremely rare), or if the programme on +1 is region-specific (such as news or local weather), the channel may show a "we'll be right back" screen during the programme that would otherwise air. +1 channels can also be slightly confusing when carrying "live" news or sports. Some channels avoid this by intentionally removing the news from their +1 channels.

With the rise of online catchup services that started to surface in 2007, such as [[Creator/TheBBC BBC iPlayer]], [[Creator/Channel4 All 4]], and [[Creator/{{HBO}} HBO Go]] to name a few, missing a programme at all has become somewhat irrelevant. [[AppointmentTelevision We are creatures of habit, however,]] and the +1 channels still fit a niche of viewers that like to watch a show as close to the live broadcast as possible without moving from their sofa.

* British station Dave calls its +1 channel [[{{Pun}} "Dave Ja Vu"]]. Why a channel that shows almost nothing but whole series of ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}}'', ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'' and ''Series/{{QI}}'' back-to-back, frequently showing the same episodes twice in the same 24-hour period thanks to BritishBrevity, feels the need for one of these is anyone's guess.
