While not the best channel in the world if you looked over a week's worth of TV on it there was always something to catch your interest. I liked the Aeriel shows of cities in the US and countries around the world, they had Ireland on it and the major US cities.

Genuinely sorry to hear this.

I always check it out on the EPG for something of interest. Also, PBS America has some great docs.

This is one downside to Freesat, the general lack of docu channels.

I have quite a few Smithsonian channel recordings on my freesat box. Genuine question....when the channel closes will i still have access to those recordings?

Sorry if it sounds a bit daft, but trying to work out if i need to watch them within the next month 😁
