Hi

I am trying to think of all of the BBCi services that have been on Freeview since it launched. I don't want to know what was on BEFORE Freeview launched, just afterwards.

Here is my list so far: -

BBC Sport including: -

Athletics
Football
Golf
Rugby (Legue and Union)
Tennis (Wimbledon)

Fame Academy
Human Senses
The Murder Game
The Life of Mammals
BBC News (Press Red Service)
Test the Nation
Antiques Roadshow
Restoration
BBC Proms
Walking with Cavemen
BBCi Films (eg Chicken Run services in Xmas)
Eurovision Song Contest
What the World Thinks of America
Pyramid
Great Britons

So, can you think of any more?

If any of these were not on Freeview, please let me know.

Cheers,

freeview never "launched," freeview is a name applied to DTT by the BBC. the bbc acquired an extra mux as did crown castle, but bbci 701 and 702 were up and running before the ex-on digital muxs were divi-ed out.

Well, when Freeview started then, gawd, is there any need to be pedantic?!

Anyways, here are others I have discovered: -

Diners
Untold Beauty
Paiting the Weather

And possibly The Day Britian Stopped, was this interactive on Freeview at all?

my point being that, what difference does it make whether a bbci service appeared before of after the bbc applied the "freeview" name to their digital terrestrial service? i cannot see the connection between the brand name appearing and the interactive services appearing.

yes he does.

Anyhow - back in the days of ITVdigital and the BBC having only one MUX we had - erm - feck all.

The two interactive channels came after ITVd went but before Freeview launched and were originally on SDN - first of all they carried the World Cup interactive then IIRC, they started with the Fame Academy interactive when the second BBC mux went live and they changed from SDN to Mux A.

So why does he have to be rude?

Also, if you look at my profile on Digital Spy, you will see I have been on there for a while. (I am also digiperson on there).

I don't know why I started this thread on here, as no one has even attempted to answer my original question Rolling Eyes
