Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Pick HD (147) has closed on FreeSat.

Sky Arts will likely take that channel number in September when it goes Free-To-Air. I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Sometimes Sky Arts is quite good for concerts etc

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

It is better than it used to be, sadly though at the detriment of the other Arts IMHO. Sky closing Sky Arts 2 was pretty much responsible.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Sky Arts confirmed as launching on FreeSat on 17th September.

Also confirmed it will be on Channel 147, recently used for the temporary HD version of Pick.

​Sky Arts has went FTA early. My Ye Olde ancient Sky box is showing it. Not officially meant to go FTA until 17th.

Not on FreeSat EPG yet, I've checked on my FreeSat box. A Digital Spy poster says it's on the FreeSat SDT table though, so preparations are underway.

We all like another channel,

BritBox has launched on the 4K FreeSat boxes.

As ex-a516digital points out on Twitter, TVs with in-built FreeSat may have the app already due to manufacturer agreements.

It likely won't come to previous generation boxes.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

​BBC Sounds app is now on the latest 4K FreeSat boxes.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

I always thought it was a strange decision not to develop BBC Sounds for smart TVs after they took the radio stations out of the iPlayer. I’m glad to see they’re reverting that now.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

Agree.

Re: A thread for FreeSat changes
 

​Court TV is apparently live on Ch 177 on Freesat now.

Thinking of moving my Virgin T V box back into my living, If the weather is bad I loose my freesat picture and some stations have weak signal,
