No, E4's channel 14 on Freeview. (and E4+1 is channel 39!)

hmm, okay 13 and 14 is not bad - but +1 @ 39 is just plain silly. They
would be better having E4 and E4+1 at 13 and 14 and more4 at 39

Umm, it says "Free To Air" on D-Sat, I wonder if they really mean that ?



Why wouldn't they?

They know "Freesat" is coming.

They know the BBC is FTA.

They know ITV3 is FTA.

They're not stupid.

INDUSTRIAL.


Well they managed to foul up the cricket on Film 4 this year, that should
have been FTV but was 'subs only' most days.


Flim4 and E4 have existing deals with Sky. Just like when film4 is having a
free weekend you can only watch if you are a sky subscriber.

No, in previous years Film 4 has gone FTV while it showed Cricket, i.e. the
same encryption level as C4 itself. I agree, during promotional weekends F4 is
often 'free' to all Sky subscribers, that is *not* FTV however.

I think E4+1 will disappear from Freeview when 4 More starts.

That's what I thought, but More4 and E4+1 are on different muxes, M4 is on Mux
2, E4+1 on Mux C, so it looks as if both will exist ?

then EPG position 13 from 18 October)."

LOL. What a cock up. It seems like channel 35 is vacant on Freeview - I
wonder why they didn't just put it on 35 nationally and leave it there?



There's going to be a shuffle of the EPG positions on 18th October.
Channel 13 is currently occupied by S4C2, which will be moving to 86.

Once S4C2 is out of the way, More4 can move nationwide to 13, which has
the advantage of (a) being a lower number, (b) next to E4 on 14

Why don't channels have the same channel number on Freeview, Sky, NTL

and
Telewest?

C'est Vive LA Difference, actuellement!

Er, that's "différence".

Oh, and "actuellement" doesn't mean "actually".

You got the gender right though :-)
