Some disappointing news has been reported in a column by Broadcast for BBC Three again.

https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/bbc/bbc3-needs-to-balance-online-and-linear/5154323.article

It is now thought that if BBC Three will come back with a linear type schedule; it will still not be coming back on traditional TV at this point. It could still remain online-only on BBC iPlayer in the UK. There has been one problem highlighted with movies shown on BBC Three in the past. Normally they were not allowed to be broadcast on iPlayer because the BBC did not have the rights to show them online. Movies shown on BBC Three in the UK back then were only available for linear TV.

So; if BBC Three comes back with a linear schedule in the not too distant future, it may or may not come back with movies in it's schedule if it's gets beefed up on iPlayer. Another problem is how to create a daily schedule for it either part time or full time. A 24/7 schedule is kind of a disaster for BBC Three because there is not enough original content to make it attractive to a new audience if it ever gets a linear schedule back at all. Sounds like a dead duck tbh.

"22631"

Tried this again today and did not get any glitches or stuttering.

It appears they have ironed out the transmission glitches.

I kow little of Ayozat or their intentions on Satellite.

Re: Sky Arts

not that i'm complaining but why would sky allow one of their flagship channels to go FTA, it doesn't make business sense

Harry Palmr

Not sure of the logic unless Sky have a premium version with all HD content or something.

I'd say it's about reaching a certain socioeconomic demographic who are more likely to subscribe to their paid service.

dulpit

Also, free to air means bigger possible audience, so possibly more expensive ads?

dubrov

I'm pretty sure only the SD version is FTA as well. That helps advertise a Sky sub as a superior product

Sky News has always been free to air since it launched over 30 years ago, and Pick and Challenge have been for some time. They’ve dabbled in making other channels free to air from time to time (Sky Sports News had a brief-ish stint on Freeview) Sky will do free to air if it suits them and as mentioned above this goes down well in terms of decision makers in the U.K. in particular.

SportyStuff TV has arrived on 252 freesat it's HD or upscaled HD depending on what the coverage is. Its basically the greyhound channel again under a new guise with stuff padding out the hours.

Great for this niche Pleasantly surprised they are using a version of HD that I can watch! - the more common version won't work on my box due to hardware error (as mentioned on previous page)

mike2084

As far as I understand it's the SIS tracks are now going to be on RPGTV. The Racing Partnership tracks which were on RPGTV have a deal with Sky Sports Racing from Wednesday evening.

Just noticed that 22631 (?) has received its new name - SportyStuff HD.

It appears to have happened this evening here.

WION looks like an interesting addition.

One complaint ...... that incessant background 'musak' is annoying to the extent that I turned off the channel because of it.

If it keeps that I will delete the channel from my list again.

Thank you.

The channels is live on both frequencies but not transmitting content it seems when I checked.

EDIT:
Just tried again now and there is audio. So all seems good, thanks again.

It seems I caught the hourly bulletin from IRN and nothing in between, at least for now.

Maybe you should check it out before making such comment

RTE2 +1 is now on the Sky epg on channel 202!

Thanks for the Freesports tip, just realised they have the Championship League Snooker rights, fecking lovely.

Between ITV4/BBC and Freesports you have pretty much across the board snooker coverage, one of the few free sports left.
