Big Mart: The Freeview Engineering Channel isn't really a channel. It's a data stream carrying software updates for various Freeview TVs, set-top boxes and PVRs. It's not allocated a channel number, it's just attached to 105 BBC Red Button, itself not really a channel in any traditional sense, although it can be selected from the EPG or by typing the channel number in.
The list of updates being broadcast can always be found at Freeview and Freesat set-top box updates | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice or DTG :: DTT Receiver Downloads .
