Thanks to a516 for posting this interesting information on your site.
So what channels would you like on freeview.
CBS might be interested.

Then again, bitrates confuse me, so I have no clue what the null packets are.
hopefully the Free to Air HD bouquet will expand.
At least there won't be any tat shopping channels from sit-up Ltd going for this new space not least because they've gone bust.
I suspect quest will be kicked off the ITV owned SDN mux in favor of ITVBE, which needs a stream from somewhere?...and lets face it, ITV wont wanna buy space on another mux for ITVBE, when they could use there own SDN mux?
They already have the Quest+1 slot, which I speculated a while back they might have obtained to ensure they had somewhere to put Quest when they got kicked off SDN.
But then they might be interested in keeping Quest+1 going too if it has helped their ratings (I have no idea whether it has or not!).
I'd expect a placeholder for ITVBe to be added next week so it appears as part of the retune. We'll know for sure which mux it is going on then!
It's free on Sky and is a really good channel.
No idea where it's coming from - the tweet suggests it's COM5/6. TruTV +1 taking unknown capacity on COM5 (something must be going part-time - I can't see a 15th stream being added) and CBS Action presumably taking the vacant slot on COM6.
Is it too early for placeholders of services launching in November to be added? I wonder if some channels contracts expire at the end of October and TruTV +1 and CBS Action have already agreed deals for when they become available?
Although they don't seem to have taken the opportunity to take up any spare capacity available to date.
I wouldn't bet on it.
As Sony Pictures Television have recently purchased CSC Media Group, they may be looking at streamlining their bouquet of channels. They could take this opportunity to gain an extra channel on Freeview but, under the circumstances, it is probably too early to predict what they would choose to add.
Well most of it happen yesterday.
Oh ok i have not seen it posted apart from yesterday that CBS Action & TruTV +1 are on the freeview EPG.
That why i said most.

When TBN are already running a promo loop saying "launching January 2015", then obviously not.
