I don’t really keep up on Freeview changes these days but a fairly significant change took place a month ago that I only just found out about.

D3&4 has added 4 new channels using MPEG4.

ITV2 +1 and ITV4+1 from COM4. The latter wasn’t a full channel before, it was 1 hour overnight placeholder.
E4 Extra and Film4+1 from COM5.

These also mean the above channels now have wider geographical coverage as they are available in Relay Transmitter areas.

The ITV moves also means ITV3+1 is a full stream on COM4 and no longer a late night/early morning placeholder.

3 of those are new streams, the other 1 was the one That’s TV 3 used, the first Freeview channel to use MPEG4 on DVB-T rather than T2.
