Does no one else think there is a link between this new sky channel opening and the other so called Crime channels disappearing?


Nothing more sinister than the smaller players recognising that they won't be able to compete with Sky, even with a free to air offering. Sony have limited Freeview carriage and obviously feel they have a stronger proposition with movies. Fox have their premium brands to fall back on.

Yes really (pun intended). On the endboard of their promos it only says Freeview followed by the channel number, the same for Freesat.

Were they previously sharing transponder capacity with the now-BBC-owned UKTV channels? Presumably they have moved to other space now they are separate?

So the channel is still available but is no longer on the EPG?

Or was it just a mix up?

As I said - it's on Channel 142 on Sky - so it's in the EPG.

Just curious has ITV3+1 gone 24/7 on Freeview? As my Freeview box EPG is showing listings for it all day, but channel itself is still showing as "programmes return at 9pm" caption.

I get all day listings too but a 9pm data screen when you tune in. Been like that for ages,

Sad to see that the Digital UK website with it’s technical background has now been subsumed into the Freeview one now.
