Sky 3+1 can only start once Sky Sports News has been removed on Monday, see related threads (two posts up)

My BT Vision prompted for a retune the other day, and now there is another ESPN channel that has appeared between BBC3 & BBC4.

I just wondered if this was a general freeview thing or unique to the Vision box

CNN is a bugger as its split in England and Wales, maybe TUTV are taking some more hours.

meanwhile if CNN was to go off air in Wales, Channel One could get that space.

Ill discuss more in the morning

CNN on Freeview LCN 84 is now back on showing World Sport.

Someone must have forgotten to flick a switch to activate the channel on Freeview.

So it looks like CNN is not being removed from Freeview.

Thanks for the help and info, I find it useful for financial data so was keen for it to stay on freeview and wondered why I was getting the welcome screen when it was supposed to be broadcasting.

The above mentioned change is due to the implementation of the new OFCOM guidelines, applicable from 1st September 2010 and involves clearer labelling of the Adult part of the DTT EPG.

Please see http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1270377 for a discussion thread on this subject.

LCN12 Yesterday now 24/7 channel, regained capacity from its timeshare LCN99 Babestation2 which has closed down except for a new warning caption mentioned above.

Source: Direct observation on Guildford transmitter.

LCN99 obtained its capacity from Virgin1+1, which has also recently returned its capacity to Yesterday.

See http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1342624

LCN99 has been renamed ADULT Section (from Babestation2) and is showing the same Mheg caption as above.

LCN92 has appeared on Mux A with the same service name and caption (ie ADULT Section).

LCN97 has been renamed ADULT PARTY (from Partyland)
LCN94 has been renamed ADULT smileTV2
LCN95 has been renamed ADULT smileTV3
LCN96 has been renamed ADULT Babestn
LCN98 has been renamed ADULT TMTV

LCN93 is unchanged

I thought that they could easily split the 128kbps Absolute Radio stream into two. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this permanently with perhaps Abs 80s or 90s. Smooth Radio is now in glorious 64kbps mono on Freeview.

Or they could use the Red Button to access Absolute Extra when it is on air. It could switch like it used to do when Virgin Radio started. It was 128kbps during the day but reduced to 96kbps overnight when Yoo Media were using 32kbps of the bit rate for their tvtv EPG.

The DAB streams are already active.
