Matthew Pigg: Its not available on Freesat. But if your TV is capable of connecting into the internet you can view it on channel 240 from the COM5 transmitter.
By the way, the data channels are only of use with TVs or boxes capable of being connected into the internet.

Matthew Pigg: if you know the model number, have a look at motorstv.com/freeview and see if it's mentioned on there. If you can see the data channels and it is connected to the internet, then 30s later ch 240 should come on.
