That's a shame. The channels are still really available on all satellite receivers free to air.

True, but it's more of a faff for people and a lot of people don't know about or can't be bothered with non Freesat mode. Also it now means that most people will no longer be able to record these channels.

Unfortunately, Vintage TV is also leaving Freesat on 17/5/18 due to the new pricing structure.


:(

Is this still happening? Can't find anything about it on the Interweb-thingy.

But, hedging my bets, I've added it as 5001 on my Freesat EPG.

Well I've just flashed up the Freesat box and Vintage TV is still operating on 505.

@RichardCoulter , has there been a change of heart?

All they need to do now is swap 126 and 104 over.

They cant until the macro advertising regions (the LEMNUS areas) are all HD. Atm only London is

Its been a long time since I looked at the C4 advertising map but I think LEMNUS is:
London
East (& South for some reason - Id have thought South would have been lumped in with London)
Midlands
North
Ulster
Scotland
