Freeview Film4 + 1 channel Lost ??

dog1

Hi Folks,

A few days ago I re scanned my freeview box in order to install/find the new channel 4 + 1 channel, which I now have on 13.

But since then, I no longer have my Film4 + 1 channel. It's gone, I've even tried to reinstall ALL available channels and can't get it back!

Anyone have any idea how/if I can have both Ch4+1 & Film4+1 on my freeview box??

It's just a cheap digihome £19.99 one from Argos, nothing special or complicated!;)

Thanks.

I don't think that anyone could get Film4+1 anymore as it was apparently replaced by Channel4+1 which is a shame as I found it actually much more useful than the new channel.

Coo - they didn't advertise that, did they?

I've got the same thing - Film4+1 receives C4+1 instead now, but there's no new Film4+1. Poo.

I only found out when I noticed Film 4 +1 had disappeared and Film 4 had moved to channel 32, replacing Film 4 +1. Apparently it was advertised on ITV? It was also mentioned on this forum a few days ago when someone else had spotted the change.
I preferred it the way it was too.

I guess the point is that advertising space is worth more on C4+1 because it's been well promoted from launch, has more frequent advertising time, and appeals to a wider range of people. It's easier/cheaper to swap to a more valuable channel than to launch an additional one.

That's how they make their money, folks!

Nowt wrong with that. It presumably uses the same tuner as the Digihome pvr. If so you can rest assured that your £19 Digihome is better than a £179 Humax tuner with regards to picture and sound quality. I have the 80GB pvr and posted a bit of a whinge about Humax elsewhere after purchasing and installing a replacement for the Digihome.:o

But for goodness sake it is just running the tape an hour later. I mean could they not have left film4+1??? I find it really hard seeing BIG BROTHER on 3 other channels (4+1, E4 and E4+1) when I am switching fast to get rid of it from channel 4. It seems like it is everywhere:eek:

Gutted! I hadn't noticed yet, but I normally rely on Film4+1 - I have a habit of finding films I really want to see about twenty minutes after they've started...

This is exactly what I will miss about Film 4+1 too.

I thought that it was a great channel and can't count the number of times that I have found a good film which had started at 9pm, then watched it from the beginning at 10pm.

Pity that it has gone!

Thanks for the replies though;)
