Info & Chat On New TV Channels & Shows (Non-babe)

T views website has been pulled today.

It has been replaced with the following message:

TView

Dear Viewers,

TView is no longer broadcasting movies on Freeview Channel 32.

Thanks for your support during our test launch period.

We have new plans that we will be announcing in due course.

The text in bold is from tviews website

After retuning my Freeview box this morning, Movies4Men appeared in the EPG.
I believe its for Manchester region only, not for all of the Granada region. It plays ok on my TV.

Just checked the EPG again. On at present is Assassin of the Tsar
Then as follows :-
Crash: The mystery of flight 1501
Time under fire
Stealth fighter
Stranded
Raging Sharks
Crocodile
and Carnal Confessions at midnight tonight.
I think they are limited bandwidth and so are only in 4:3 aspect ratio, not widescreen. They seen to be a mixture of action, adventure and sci-fi films, with an adult film at midnight.

There is no capacity issue, the local Manchester MUX has loads spare they are even advertising for interested parties on future channels.

Movies4men does actually broadcast in 16:9 if they have a 16:9 print available. But most of there movies are old this is why they are 4:3 most of the time. They have showed a few van dammes in the past in 16:9 one was AWOL

channel 45 is gone i spotted this when watching TNA on channel 46

Thats wrong. maybe you made a mistake.

There are two radio stations one called BBC Radio 5 Live on freeview 705 and the other called BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra on freeview 706

They chose to save BBC Radio 5 Live

see here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-hi...s-13479551

And from that link it says: Due to a lack of bandwidth, many of the corporation's radio stations will go off air when BBC Alba is broadcasting - but not 1 Extra, 5 Live and 6 Music.

All the rest lose hours in scotland on freeview.
