Apologies to all, there was a fault in my code that was showing the final position for the 700MHz clearance, rather than the correct interim one of 60- 53 51 33 57 32.

Brian:
If you look at the Truee page on this website you will see thatr many people have asked tha same question. The answer is that it has been moved at Sony's behest onto the local multiplexes and is available wherever those can be received.

Linds: If you can receive a local TV station on Freeview channel 7 or 8 then you will also get Sony Movies Christmas (formerly True Movies) and Sony Channel (formerly True Entertainment) as both channels are broadcast on the local TV signal only.
