I read recently that Channel 4HD is joining Freesat in April, so possibly this is it.

The soft launch was on 17th Feb. This where the service is running alongside the sly managed channel.
Here is the schedule for full launch:
17th February - Soft launch
21st - 28th February – Sky “switch” their EPG to point to the new Channel 4 HD service
10th March – The service switches from its current encrypted to a free to air state
1st April – The service launches on the Freesat platform

This ties up with next round of the DSO (Digital Switchover)

12606 will not get it - small slip here - try 12607 V 27500. If it doesnt appear in channels go to New ones - 55300. Cheers - Brain
