Channels are live on Freesat - can someone confirm if they work on Sky without the card in the slot?

js: Are these channels now FTA on Sky too? I've only got a Freesat box here at the moment.

Roy: Not wanting to defend the decision, but the coverage for multiplexes COM4 and COM6 are more-or-less identical there isn't really any reason to flag up movements between them.

Almost all modern Freeview equipment can move channels between multiplexes seamlessly. It's been in "the D-Book" for quite some years now.

It looks like the Horror Channel has done a direct swap with CBS Drama.

You might need to retune old equipment to keep on viewing HORROR and/or CBS Action as these channels have swapped places on COM4 and COM6.

New to the Freeview service is CBS Action+1 on com7 (Limited coverage, Freeview HD boxes only).

Also note DTG Testing Engineering Channel Christmas lockdown: December 18th - January 12th

Ian from Pinxton: Looking at Request Rejected it is doubtful if the problems are caused by the atmosphere. What do you mean by "Lots of problems" specifically?

I always take Freeserve to mean Freeserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which was the dial-up ISP service from Dixons. It was "free" in the sense that you didn't have to subscibe, just pay the (1p a minute wasn't it) phone charge.

Tony Padley : There are no plans: covering only 170,000 homes Heathfield is too small for Com 7 and 8.
