Well they lost a viewer in me and everyone else affected by the swap. A 'minor' channel that people enjoyed so it is ok to bin it? That is good business!! Like I said I don't watch TV anymore. I only see things in passing. It is easier to acquire a series that I want to watch and watch it all without adverts or channel shutdowns.
TV watching is going to die. We used to get HD on freeview. It was 13 channels now It is 7 I think. So what is the point of Freeview? If you want to see an old show, watch it elsewhere.

If you sell something for a living, then you want to keep your customers happy and returning. Selling off frequencies and shrinking availability is retarded. When the Gov want more money, they will sell off more and more. TV will be NetTV (spyware). That is the future of TV. I spend more time watching people argue on Youtube, Rumble, Odysee, etc than watching any TV show. That is far more entertaining. So whether you want to believe it, TV is on its death bed and the providers know it. People were watching Farscape and boom!! channel gone. HorrorXtra web site is broken and you cannot complain to them. It seems like they don't care. They like pulling this trick so people will avoid getting invested in shows on Freeview. I am sure I am not alone.
I have a PC and will never buy a 'smart' anything to spy on me. So if TV goes 'catchup' you can count me out.
Nice talking to you Chris. More entertaining than TV. lol.

Chris.SE: Didn't the CBS Drama channel do something similar years ago? You get people watching your stuff, then you pull the channel and lose viewers to expand another channel you own. That is why I gave up watching freeview or TV in general. This is just speeding up the end of broadcast TV. They want everyone to stream stuff.
They want to sell of all the frequencies.
