AllanlLOYD: Check you signal level - is it too high or too low? And you might need to update the TV's apps - they get rewritten, etc.

Al Jazeera was available in Dublin until a few months ago. But no longer. I use a combination of the Irish system Saorview and Freeview.

Do you know of any reason why it is no longer available here? Many thanks.

Farrel Corcoran: Which transmitter are you receiving Freeview from? I'm not aware of any recent changes to Al Jazeera on Freeview.

Al Jazeera English should still be available in SD at LCN235 in the Freeview EPG.

If by "Freesky" you mean an older Sky box with a free-to-air viewing card, then perhaps you need to check that your dish (or cabling) hasn't moved in recent high winds. Also check all the connections to the box.

I would like to know why ch 235 is going to go on sept 30,as far as i am concerned it is the best news channel goingoing despite it quite being more coverage of arab/muslim matters,i find the station the best for reporting all the worlds news and problems plus the special stories about world politics and conflicts.
thank you for your time
regards
Alistair.

Alistair D Cahill: Al Jazeera have decided to close their broadcast channel on Freeview. This isn't their website so nobody here can answer for them as to why they have made this decision. Al Jazeera English is still available to stream on Freeview channel 251 on compatible internet connected TVs/boxes.

Alistair D Cahill:

It's most likely to be down to costs. Broadcasting on a multiplex on Freeview is a lot more costly than having a streaming allocation. They won't have a very large audience on Freeview (cf. BBC/Sky etc.) it's probably been at a loss.

So as StevensOnln1 has said, if you have an Internet connected/Smart TV, you can watch it on LCN251 but that is assuming you receive the SDN multiplex from a main transmitter and not the limited Freeview Light service from a Relay (as you haven't given a full postcode, we can't advise).

Alternatively, you can watch it Live at https://www.aljazeera.com/live
