"Watch" channel currently available FTV as ch 50880

dnme · 23-06-2013 02:23PM #1

Just messing around with my VU DUO and I am able to see Watch on channel 50880 (Sunday 23rd June 2pm). I can confirm that this channel requires the FTV card. Does this mean Watch may be added to the other FTV channels available (Sony, Channel 5 HD etc) ?

I doubt it will be going FTV, I read recently Sky are planning on doing away with FTV cards and channels that are FTV are going to either go full subscription or go FTA.

I imagine this is just a test for a transponder move and just hasn't been encrypted yet. the UKTV channels could do with some FTA offerings though for Freesat. If they do, I doubt it will be Watch they'll do it with.

A channel like Dave perhaps. It is FTA on Freeview after all

Working for me. Have a London region FTV card. Incorrect flag as well it seems, TV switching to 4:3.
