News on new channels - Freeview & Sky

xxXpanded TV was not on air last night on freeview.

I have just done a rescan and xxXpanded tv is no longer on the freeview EPG.

Firstly I hate posting on this Thread unless I have anything to add regarding new channels but to answer the above question with regards to freeview.

I have freeview built into my telly and the other night it told me that new channels were found and to do a scan, when the scan was finished I noticed that Babestation had vanished, in reality it hasn't and the same goes for xxXpanded TV, it's all about the current signal you just so happen to be getting at the moment of the scan.

I get a very poor signal from Babestation and it disappears and reappears all the time on my freeview EPG. I however have SKY and don't depend on freeview, I only use it as an emergency back up incase my SKY goes down which incidentally speaking thankfully gets a very strong signal on all of the channels which includes the 900's

So to cut a long story short, do another rescan and xxXpanded TV will probably reappear as I still have xxXpanded TV on my freeview EPG

If only it was that simple. Xxxpanded's licence is currently run out for Freeview. That's why we're waiting to see if it returns.

It didn't last long, as it's now been removed from the EPG.

Cheeky Chat" (CH916) closed at 8.00pm tonight.Replaces with what looks to be a Gardening channel.

Cheeky chat Sky Ch 916 hasn't closed on my Sky box or been replaced with a gardening channel, it's been transmitting as usual all day and showing flirt tv adverts as usual, it broadcasts from 8am to 8pm,

Sky channel 940 has returned as Play TV, replacing channel 927 which is no longer on the EPG.

Flirt TV' now on EPG 938.

Studio 66 TV 2' now on EPG 942.

There have swap for some reason.
