There's a video stream, and there are adverts, but I can't ID it at the moment (not got full access to my monitoring tools where I am at the moment.)

Arqiva advertised some Freeview slots in August - however, Arqiva and the BBC usually have to have Ofcom consent before working together, so I'd be surprised if these were the Arqiva slots.

The stream currently contains Film4+1 - Hairspray - and matches with what I see on satellite.

It goes without saying that since this is a hidden stream that it can change or vanish again without notice, so let's not jump to too many conclusions - but something from C4 seems a fair bet.

+1

Back in the office and using DVB Viewer, it is indeed Film 4+1 (I've tweeted a screenshot, if anyone's interested.)

Film4+1 on ArqB uses a stream that Channel 4 started using in December 2005 (for More 4+1 originally). There's a thought at the back of my mind that suggests perhaps that slot will go and Film 4+1 moves to BBC-B. This could be one of the slots Arqiva are offering on their multiplexes (as I can't see where sufficient bandwidth would come from otherwise?).

It's a hidden stream (see #3), so you'll need a computer, with the appropriate software and a DVB-T2 stick or something similar connected to your aerial.
