Well, we’ve seen a number of changes to the Freeview platform over the past few weeks. I’ll provide an up to date EPG list on my Ident City blog shortly, but here on Viewpoint, I’ll catch you up on the recent changes that have taken place.
You know about Quest’s “non-arrival” on channel 47. I posted on that earlier this week. Suffice to say that at this time, the slide is still airing, and we still do not know when the channel will properly launch.
ITV4 is now on channel 24, broadcasting 24 hours a day.
Dave ja vu (I hate that name!) is now on channel 25.
Home (the new name for UKTV Style) is now on channel 26. Frankly, these channel names that UKTV have come up with are really bad, and they do nothing in that sense to identify the channel.
ITV2+1 is now on Channel 27.
E4 and it’s timeshift station, E4+1 are on 28 and 29 respectively.
Fiver is on 30 with sister station Five USA on 31.
Smile TV is on channel 32 broadcasting between 3am and 7am. (why? Seems pointless to me!)
Smile TV 2 has re-appeared on channel 33, broadcasting Babestation programmes between Midnight and 5am.
Setanta Sports 1 hasn’t moved,l they’re still on channel 34.
And new today is Virgin 1+1, which broadcasts between 6pm and 6am, using the old Virgin 1 multiplex space.
Go over to Ident City, and you will find a complete EPG list for Freeview.
