ITV is finally bringing HD services to the two remaining regions that did not have it (Border Scotland & Channel TV). In January 2024 ITV will close the SD transmissions in the above mentioned regions, plus those in Wales & Ulster.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Eden starts on EPG 160 on 16/10/24.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

HobbyMaker HD is set to launch soon on Freesat HD.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Gems TV HD and Yesterday +1 are to shortly join Freesat.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Why not also:

*U&Drama +1
*U&Dave +1
*U&Eden +1

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

It's now transpired that Yesterday +1 may actually only be being used simply as a test, so may not actually appear.

Gems TV HD is definitely coming though.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Being in the ''Test area'' on Freesat do not mean that channel is set to launch - I seen reports months ago that Rewind TV or NOW 80s (I think it was) was also testing on Freesat - but both channels are still to launch.

I know Sky News is set to change transponders soon with GEMS TV HD set to launch on Wednesday/Thursday on Freesat HD Boxes.
