Time to swap Freeview channels?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV There is no doubting the success of Freeview. Since it launched at the end of October 2002, Freeview has become the most popular digital TV platform in the UK.
Some of the channels that have had joined Freeview have done very well too, but others have not.
The UKTV Bright Ideas channel has never scored more than 0.2% since it launched!
Perhaps it is time to replace this channel with the once popular UKTV Gold?
Which channels would you pull from Freeview? Which channels would you replace them with?

Nigel: At that location, you are predicted to have variable to poor reception from Sutton Coldfield on all multiplexes. It is likely to stop working at least some of the time, with very little you can do about it. It's simply down to the variability of signal propogation from the transmitter to you, and of signals from other transmitters as well. A bit lower propogation from Sutton Coldfield to you, and a little more from others, and it could well reduce signal quality enough for some services to stop working. This variability - which broadcasters call 'fading' - is usually different on different frequencies, so some services may be failing while others are working, then swapping around at different dates.
It is predicted that you have a high likelihood of reliable service from Sutton Coldfield once it has switched over. You will need to retune on the 7th and 21st of September.

I would like to see uk gold eurosport and two music channels like bliss or magic also maybe documentary channel like eden on freeview all would give a wide genre of variety to the already good freeview channels we have bar the rubbish shopping and adult channels which are a waste of space on freeview.

Carlos : The capacity on Freeview is sold as open auctions, this means that no one can bar channels that can pay to be on the platform.

Bring back Eurosport, as there seems no way to get this on freeview. It used to be available as part of a Top-up, I believe?
