No, it starts at midday and continues until midnight on launch day with live content between 1pm and 6pm and pre-recorded content outside those hours then starts at the normal time of 9am the day after continuing until midnight (5 hours live 10 hours pre-recorded) according to that report.

Actually a slight correction is required to the above as Ideal Extra started at 0900 today on Freeview in London directly after TV News 2 went off air.

Bit rates cut on Mux C to make way for seventh video stream - Ideal Extra (new shopping channel from Ideal World) / TV News 2.

No, they are not. This is additional capacity.
More information, plus further discussion on this topic continues on the following thread, off the changelog: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...1215668&page=4 Thanks.

It might be helpful if channels were ALPHABETICAL . With increasing numbers of channels this would simplify finding the one you want and would be the same accross all EPGs.

Coming soon to freeview aardvark TV

that would be very confusing, everything would have to move when a TV channel launches. not to fact that ITV would be demoted to after Babestation (which would be no1) BBC, C4, E4, Film Four, Five

like a naughty tank engine, it could cause confusion & delay.

I know how this works since Humax Freesat boxes have precisely this feature. The BBC gets even more interesting if the box includes the radio stations in the relisting. In that case it would go

BBC 1Xtra
BBC 6 Music (?)
BBC Asian Network (?)
BBC Alba (If the Scottish Parliament have their way)
BBC Four
BBC HD
BBC News
BBC One
BBC Parliament
BBC R5L
BBC R5SX
BBC Radio 1
BBC Radio 2
BBC Radio 3
BBC Radio 4
BBC Radio 7
BBC Red Button
BBC Three
BBC Two
BBC World Service
CBBC
CBeebies

Even the four mixed programming evening TV stations get completely errr mixed up - 4,1.3,2 and are deliberately spelled out to distinguish them easily from the radio stations of the same numbers.

I can confirm this - following screenshots also from CP:

A bit of a long shot, but is there anyone in the Blaen-Plwyf transmission area with a DVB-T2 receiver who can confirm the presence of S4C HD? If so, can we have some screenshots please?

Sounds to me like the interactive adverts.

Seen them before.

According to DMOL, S4C HD is on Ch 53 in Wales.

Could well be ... but I didn't think SKY had interactive Adverts on Freeview.
