Published on by on UK Free TV

Most viewers should now find that they can watch the new www.ukfree.tv link icon "4seven" TV repeats service.

The channel will have appeared as position "47" for Freeview viewers in areas that have switched over the digital only transmission. (see also www.ukfree.tv link icon Channel 4-seven is now in the Freeview EPG in switched-over areas).

Freeview viewers in the "Tyne Tees" area will get the channel on Wednesday 26th September 2012, and it will come to transmitters in Northern Ireland on Wednesday 24th October 2012.



The channel is on Freesat 127 and fSfS 140, or can be found on Astra 1N transponder 68, 11126MHz Vertical 22 5/6.

The channel is NOT carried on the public service "Freeview Light" transmitters, which DO carry Channel 4+1 along with Channel 4, E4 (except Wales) and More4.

Sorry but Channel 4 already repeat its programmes to death on E4 and More4 and you can pick up on programmes you've missed on 4OD. What is this channel going to offer that they don't? And Channel 4 unfortunately have so few programmes worth watching twice, I think it's probably a waste of time and digital bandwidth and more like a cynical attempt to generate more advertising revenue.

Another totally pointless channel espcially in the PVR / on-demand age, more HD channels would be better

Dave,Brighton.Your last six words in yer previous text could by 2030 be the norm,as SD by then could be switched off altogether.Mind you once UHD (4320p) possibly by 2050 becomes reality then HD (1080p) will too be switched off and 1,000+ UHD channels thru terrestrial aerial by then (i may be long gone by then ?) will all be provided on only one multiplex per mast whether it is on a minor/major relay or main transmitter itself !

I watch the word game programme Countdown and I notice that exactly the same edition of the programme is broadcast only 2 hours after the original CH4 showing, 1 hour after the +1, which seems totally pointless. Why don't, can't they show that edition of the programme from a few days previous in case it was difficult to watch the original showing on that day. That seems to make more sense, but the broadcasters think they know best don't they! It might as well be CH4+2.

Actually they ought to get rid of all the +1 channels & make them at least +2 as if you have a programme clash a one hour time difference can very often still conflict with the first programme, whereas the majority of programmes are not going to last more than two hours in length, so less likely to conflict.

Stuart:One more channel of repeats is just what British Tv does not need.
Better and newer is needed and filling Free-view with constant repeat channels is just a waste of air space and 4seven is yet another prime example.

I have the new channel showing on my EPG but when I select it get a no signal message.

This is in Havant just outside of Portsmouth on a Bush HD freesat box.

Any explanation anyone?

Thanks, Phil

advertising for this channel on CH4 needs to be ammended as it mentiosn to exclusions.
For Freeview it only mentiosn a re-tune may be necessay.

@Phil - the freesat channel vanished for me over the weekend too. I don't know who's problem it was and I've not checked if it's back yet, but if we both saw it, I guess it was something transmission-side.

I'd be grateful if you could tell me if Freeview HD is available in my area, or point me to where I could find out. I believe it is but would like to confirm it before investing in an HD box.

Mike O'Sullivan: If you are receiving Freeview from the Guildford transmitter at just over 3 miles away on a bearing of 283 degrees then its HD service is on mux Ch40, all muxes seen to be predicting good reception at your location.

Yes it's Guildford. Excellent reception on normal Freeview.

Many thanks for the info.

Mike O'Sullivan: No problem! and if you have excellent reception on normal Freeview SD channels then there is no reason for not having likewise on HD.

Mike O'Sullivan:

Update: Just got my i-can Easy HD 2851t delivered from Amazon. £30 well spent. Yes I can get all available HD channels. One thing puzzles me about the standard definition channels and that's the numbering. The channel numbers are completely different to those on my Freeview TV and the published numbers in the Radio Times. Why is this and where can I find a list of the numbers on the Web?
