E4 is no longer picked up as a channel.

I'm still getting listings but not a holding slide. I think it'll show about lunchtime.

I've just rung around about this and have been told that the holding slide will remain there until 5. He also mentioned that there shouldn't be a TUTV slide, Umm weird...

I re-tuned when I got up this morning at 6 and it was there with slide. Now its not found on a scan and there is no slide. I did already have listings for 7 days or whatever so I think it's just showing them.

There probably still playing about; wouldn't worry - If you can get ITV and Channel 4 you'll be fine - Maybe retune tonight when you get home...

Just to let you know, here in Tyne Tees land I have a purple holding caption on Ch14 saying that E4 will launch at 2pm on Freeview. Viewers need to do a rescan to get E4+1 on Ch39.

Where are Channel 4 getting the bandwidth to broadcast E4 AND E4+1 from? I didnt realise there was so much spare bandwidth floating about!

Will the E4+1 service be availalbe across the whole country? I have rescanned and it has only picked up E4 in Wales (but its black atm)


+1 is on a different Mux - the Sky News mux to be precise

I have now got my ITV/C4 mux channels back for the first time today (still flakey due to my box) yet am unable to find channel 14 at all.

Now picked up E4 and 705 for the first time.

E4 and E4+1 due to launch at 2pm (though a programme begins at 1.40pm).

As for bandwidth we now have this:

Mux 2: Digital 3 & 4
ITV 1/2/3/News
Channel 4
E4
705
Top Up TV (Bloomberg / UKTV Food / TBA)

Mux C: Crown Castle
Sky News
Sky Sports News
Sky Travel
UKTV History
E4+1


More 4 will appear somewhere in October. I think it's more likely to appear on the C4 mux than replace E4+1.

705 is rumoured to be for Big Brother Live and future C4 interactive programming, while Top Up TV's contract with C4 expires in September, so More4 could replace this stream.

BB6 live stream is testing with a tone and coloured bars with BB Live information behind it on channel 705
