If this advert did appear, I wonder if it was shown early in error. This would give us an indication that it will come to Freeview at some point (unless it's already on Freeview, I can't check as my aerial is out of action).
As of yesterday GOLD was NOT on MB HQ's Freeview HD Box.

We have look around at our web sources on Freeview and seen at GOLD has not launched today on Freeview.

It has pack flags for Mix, M+, L/Fun & XL/Full House. Scan data indicated that video and audio streams have been rolled out across the national network.
That an good channel number - right beside Rishtey Europe.
