Tuned into this channel this morning but only got a blank screen,are they having problems launching anybody? Also,my PVR freeview box isn`t showing the channel at all despite me re-tuning twice,any idea`s guys?:confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Freeview (2013).
 

I assure you it is up & running in all areas with the full freeview service (it's on the SDN mux). If you haven't retuned since 4th July you need to do it again to receive the channel, as it was previously occupied by G.O.L.D.

If a retune still hasn't found it, do one with the aerial disconnected, then reconnect it & run it again.

Done another re-tune (the 3rd) and it's now there so success!

The BBC has announced it will launch HD varients of all it's TV channels early next year on all digital platforms. This has come about mainly due to the freeing up of capacity on Freeview (viewers will require DVB-T2 compliant sets or boxes, & may need a new aerial).

Local TV outside England not going to be on Freeview Channel 45 - but lower.

The Freeview web site has confirmed that Film4 +1 will launch on Freeview Channel 45 on August 27th.

But that was set to be use for Local TV Channels in Scotland and Wales.

No word yet on the new channel number for Local TV in Scotland and Wales yet but we at Media Boy HQ thinks Local TV outside England and Ireland will launch on Freeview Channel 34 or 41.

Travel Channel launches but we say goodbye to Sky Sports on Freeview.

Today has also seen the following things happen on Freeview:

-Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 remove from Freeview Channels 41 and 42.
-Travel Channel launches on Freeview Channel 42 (From 6pm to 10pm).

True Entertainment launches on Freeview channel 61

This is CSC's first channel to launch on Freeview and airing 24/7 right now.

Re: Coming Soon to Freeview (2013).
 

Is this the only CSC channel they will be launching at the moment or do CSC have more licenses for more channels they will be launching?

Re: Coming Soon to Freeview (2013).
 

CSC have only got one license for Freeview.

But Channel 61 is only broadcasting on Freeview in England, Scotland and Ireland.

To add to my previous post:

The new BBC HD channels will be available as follows:

BBC3 HD will share capacity with CBBC HD the same as with the SD versions, on the BBC B Mux replacing the current BBC Red Button HD. These channels will be available from all Freeview transmitters.

The remaining BBC HD varients will take capacity on the new COM 7 mux, which will only be available from 29 of the 80 full freeview transmitters. A map of the COM 7 transmitter sites can be found HERE

All the new HD varients will be available on Freesat & Virgin.
