Just had an email from the people behind the vintage tv / movie channel Talking Pictures.
Hoping you are all well. Some great news; we are delighted to announce that Talking
Pictures TV is coming to Freeview! We hope to launch on Freeview around September
15th, again we haven’t been told our channel number yet but I think it will be in the
70’s. We will be launching as an SD channel on Freeview but through the HD service.
If you want to check if you will be able to watch us on freeview in your area click this link and enter your postcode: http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability
If you can see Motors TV in the Entertainment Genre or BBC4 HD in the HD genre then
you will be able to view Talking Pictures (if you have an HD receiver).
For those of you without Sky this is great news, a world of nostalgia and vintage
cinema awaits you with Talking Pictures TV which broadcasts 24 hour hours a day 7
days a week.

Thanks for sharing. So, it looks like it's Talking Pictures that will be sharing with Viva, as there's not really enough room to squeeze another full-time stream in on COM7. That said, isn't Talking Pictures exclusively black and white films?
Another channel could be leaving. Top of the list would be Arise "News",
How long until vintage tv goes HD only on Freeview do we think?
That would be pointless like having Gold in HD as all the content they show is pre HD
Basically a Motors TV. Look at those stats I did on how viewing figures increased for Motors just on this limited Freeview.
Yes i'd like to see Vintage tv as a proper channel on freeview and not streamed.
Its a channel I would like but no COM 7 here in Devon sadly.
Will this channel actually launch on Freeview? Or will it turn out to be one of those IPTV channels?
I'm not sure what I should say... but, the original announcement probably shouldn't have been sent out.
It's never easy to get the cat back into the bag...
No, because they also show some series and dramas from the 1970s and 1980s etc. that were filmed in colour. This channel has been on satellite for some months now so I know what the content's like.
This is why you should always store your cats in boxes.
Then they shouldn't have sent out the email quoted in post #1. Which is probably why they sent out the more cryptic email a week later. Since then, it has been very quiet.
That should never have been sent out anyway, as their launch date was not confirmed at that time (and tmk still isn't).
