Default Channel 4 London - Free-to-air ???

I clicked on FTASat add banner here and found following:

994 Channel 4 London FTA

Is it true that Channel 4 London is Free-to-Air.

I would love to have it. Can any one confirm the above is right and what frequency i can get it.

Thank you! :quote:

Yes mate, free to air

Not sure what programming it carries though. Never watched it.

It certainly wasn't when I tested it, it was showing horseracing I think...

It didn't have the C4 logo, it had a variation but I can't remember for sure what it was. I have a feeling it was 'more' as in more4?

I checked it a few minutes after good2talk asked as I thought it was FTA, and it cleared no problem on my Skystar2.

Just checked now, and it's CAID 0960, which is NDS

I guess that as it's a test channel...

Probably a switching error..
