Great addition

I reckon it'll be low-value repeats from now on sadly.

Sky won't be commissioning anything to put onto an FTA channel.

Thats what I mean though, your first link gives this:

Sky News 12070 H 27500

But that's halfway down a long list in the second link that everyone reccomends... How do you actually tell what you're looking for from the dozen or so options?

On lynsat you can see the updated time so you know it's it's a recent update or not

Sky Arts will not be HD when it goes free. It will be HD for Sky subscribers, but for us lay folk, 544x576 is all we are getting.

Harry Palmr

It's free and it's more than Freesat currently have so I'm not going to moan

Sky Art's will be a great addition to FTA, Looking forward to it

broadcastnow.co.uk has reported today that BBC Three could be coming back as a linear channel with the BBC claiming that an announcement is imminent & will be coming very soon. The article is saying that BBC Three is to use existing spectrum which is likely to be used after CBBC closes down for the night on Freeview & other platforms so it can return to linear TV screens across the UK. That would mean BBC Three could return to a 9pm opening slot once Tim Davies announces the move once the BBC gives the official nod for it to come back on TV.

This was mooted a while back with the success of Three on One slot and Covid having a positive effect on ratings in the youth cohort.

Not really a new channel. Just the existing Now 80s rebranding for a week.

Harry Palmr

Shouldn't it be on Now 70s?

SportyStuff TV HD sounds legit!

Does anyone remember that short lived sport and betting channel which did show Serie A football from Brazil? The picture quality was 144kbps youtube quality.

Strangely little seems to be known about this one. Perhaps it's a working title but it does somehow come across as "low rent".

BTW I did a scan and this didn't get picked up but plenty of "god" channels did.
