Last night ITV4 wasn't working on our TV. A rescan got it working, but by the time I'd managed to figure out that manoeuvre I'd missed the first 15 minutes of the programme.
Ah - need to check that when I get home tonight - I tried to set it for the late night highlights but if they've moved the bloody channel I'll need to rescan (and spend ages resetting all my recording series links!) Oh, and deleting all the soft porn and shopping channels too
.
ITV4 will move to the same frequency as the main standard definition ITV service, meaning it will become available in those areas that only have access to a limited line-up of Freeview channels, giving ITV4 a coverage boost to reach around 98.5% of households in the UK.
"When do the changes take place?
According to ITV, the change is due to happen around midday, Tuesday 25th August.
What do Freeview users need to do?
•Freeview viewers who already receive ITV4 will need to retune in order to continue receiving ITV4. If you have recordings set up, you will need to re-programme them for the "new" ITV4.
•Freeview viewers who don't have ITV4 will need to retune in order to add ITV4 to their channel list. ITV4 will appear on channel 24.
(A small number of Freeview receivers may automatically make the changes. The changes also affect YouView users.)"
