However, it’s been revealed that Hochanda had already sought urgent financial assistance in August, days after the Winter Fuel Allowance announcement had been made. The company was found to be insolvent and an attempt was made to sell the company and assets as a going concern.

Re: Freeview changes
Hot on the back of POP Linear channels closing on December 1st on Freeview

Re: Freeview changes
Question, if In march 2026 (yes that's right), can I get a Freeview box that will work through Virgin Media Broadband?
A rooftop aerial isn't an optioin

Be aware that Freely currently only delivers the PSB channels in IP format (roughly the equivalent of a Freeview relay transmitter). To get the full Freeview channel availablility you still need to connect a Freely TV to a rooftop aerial pointed at a transmitter that carries the COM muxes. A Freely TV will work on any Broadband connection, so you could use one now. It's just a different type of SMART TV.

Ah, of course, never really had either myself, forgot there were the two 'free' versions.
I think we had the satellite in our bedroom once, years ago, for the wife, but she never really used it.
Never had freeview (would have needed a new aerial iirc).

Re: Freeview changes
Cruise1st TV has today launch on Virgin Media.
When I was watching early today Cruise1st TV's Derek Marks did say that the launch on Virgin Media is part of the channel expanding plans for 2025.
Do that mean????
*Launch on Freeview/Freely?
*Launch on Freesat?
