Cassandra M : The Africa channel is only available via satellite Sky 209 or Virgin 828, not on Freeview.

By the way its free to view on Sky 209.

That's a pity. If BT had this in Youview I'd have left Sky eons ago. They've got Al Jazeera and other foreign bits and bobs. Why not this one???

Bill:It is likely that there is a fault within the equipment used just for that channel, leaving all others unaffected.
