Two new services have just appeared on the SDN mux: LCN 179- "Bluebird TV" and LCN 790 - "Test"

Clearly "Test" is in the temporary number allocation. Anyone any ideas what it will become?

    Oh, how exciting, Freeview is the platform to have now, just think you can watch all those channels that keep appearing and then disappearing, As bad as Dab radio.

    Likely, but not necessarily. Has anybody in Wales received these two new channels?

    Could be Mheg PIN protected like Television X. That might also explain the lack of "ADULT" prefix.

    .... And confusingly similar to the logo for this organisation which also does Internet based communications....

    Will Bluebird TV be on in the day as well as night?

    Vervloet Management & Beheer are the owners of Bluebird TV.

    I'm confident it's nothing to lose any sleep over. More arbitrary junk inserted into the Freeview dumping ground of wasted bandwidth.

    It'll be Internet bandwidth, not Freeview bandwidth, apart from a tiny amount for an MHEG.

    Interestingly (or not!) that synapse website http://synapsetech.tv/ shows the YouView logo, but YouView does not yet show internet channels like Connect.

    If it's a 2010 model, Sports Tonight and Racing UK work fine. The Space also worked when I accessed it pre-launch, but has been blacklisted (despite me telling them that it works fine, it has never been unblocked). The other Connect TV/Vision services also have the 2010 Panasonics blacklisted, but I have no idea whether they actually would work or not (you could try contacting Connect TV about that).

    The only one I want to access is The Space!

    BLUEBIRD TV IS COMING TO FREEVIEW - ALL 4 BBTV CHANNELS COMING TO FREEVIEW, CHANNEL 179!!

    For for too long now, the words "Bluebird TV is on Freeview!" have been resting temptingly on the tips of models tongue's throughout the Bluebird studios, across the Twittersphere and beyond!

    As fans started to speculate, what with Bluebird TV long-securing it's place atop the Babe Show roster and successfully being branded by many as, 'The number one Babe channel broadcaster on Sky TV.' It was only natural that fans would start to question; When for the love of Cara Steel's body will Bluebird TV be coming to Freeview?

    Well, the date is yet to come. But one thing is for sure where Freeview viewers are concerned - That BBTV will most definitely be a Christmas present worth waiting.

    If you tune in on Freeview channel 179 right now, you will be able to see a shiny new Bluebird slate...Just ready and waiting to launch the likes of Cara Steel, Naomi Raine, Charley Atwell, Evelyn and loads more tasty Bluebird crackers from their comfy and limited Sky TV audience to... Well, TO EVERY SINGLE TELEVISION SET IN THE UK! (signal strength dependent)

    So, be Merry and help us spread the word - Bluebird TV is coming to Freeview channel 179 from... Alright, keep your knickers on (because the Bluebird girls probably won't) ...From: Date to be announced soon!
    I got this information from the bluebird TV forum.

    :eek:! On no, tomee, it's another slapper channel. :(

    I've deleted all these tat titillation channels from both the Freeview and Freesat EPGs though Freeview is infested with them compared to Freesat (l only had to delete 2 on Freesat).

    Hi all i just got a email here

    Hey tom yes it will be 24 hours and all 4 Bluebird channels. All 4 channels will be available on channel 179... It will be a selection menu, we are the first adult broadcaster to do this.

    Enjoy!

    So i guess this wont be available on none freeview HD boxes/ TV and with an internet connection.

    Hmm, that might explain why the Synapse test service arrived at the same time.
