    Lol! My tv was showing 'new services found' this morning, retuned and found this, it's on Channel 96 in an 'overspill' section, as there is also a slide on Channel 95 stating that "Childrens channels are now listed between 96-99 and 120-129".

    Which mux is this on btw?

    It's not listed on the Digital UK site yet.

    http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/industry/Channels/channel_listings

    From the look of things though it's a streamed service as the FAQ section in the link provided by philengland says this...
    Can I access Ketchup TV on any TV?

    No, Ketchup TV is currently only available on a Samsung SMART TV that is connected to the internet. Ketchup TV will be available on Freeview TV’s that are connected to the internet in the Autumn of 2015.

    Seems a bit strange allowing this channel to be further up the listing than all the other kids channels in the 120s and all the other streamed channels in the 200s? Further evidence of the pigs ear of a mess they continue to make with the EPG.

    There is no space left in the 120s. Digital UK announced this temporary overflow a while back.

    There's nothing on my screen, not even a message saying I need a different kind of tuner. :( The channel does does display in the EPG though.

    So clunky having the Children's over spill section lower down the EPG than the main section, hope they can tidy that up.

    Sort of proves my point of their inability to plan ahead and make decent provision for each genre in advance on the EPG to avoid situation of having to create an overflow section.

    Also, why was Ketchup not just simply put in the streamed section for now, it is not a linear channel?

    Kids genre takes preference over everything else, witness the placing of CBBC HD and CBeebies HD.

    Twice I got Ketchup TV on freeview 96. Twice it stopped my Sky picture coming through plus some of my terrestrial programme s. I had to turn everything off wait then turn on again. Why? Very odd that . Maybe I should get the app?
