Default Channel 4 - 28.2

10729 V 22000 5/6 - Channel name as 8350

Not sure how long this will last, but everyone seems to think its ready for freesat. Others are recognised on the same frequency, other Channel 4 group programmes, Film 4 and Film 4 + 1 are named.

Not done the scan myself yet, so not too sure.

So thats 4 and 5 that have gone FTA recently, but not officially ??? All we need now is E 4, More 4, Five live and Five US and it will be bye bye freeview as far as I'm concerned. Dave and Virgin 1 would also be a bonus.

Exactly the same here madrat.

As soon as these go FTA officialy, it'll be goodbye to my Freeview box.

Agree, Dave and Virgin 1 would a great extra bonus, especially Virgin 1, running at all hours instead of the few it does on Freeview.

Very best regards Wez
