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.

RamsFan · 11-04-08, 10:24 PM

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.

Funny.

Just been looking for the same info on kingofsat. Five not listed.

Anybody got details for this one?

It was posted a few days ago, before the panic i think, might even have been last week.

Very best regards Wez
