C4HD dropping off Freesat this week, just before new season!

If you happen to use Freesat, F1 will only be available in SD now. All4 also completely removed.

Now need to figure out how to get a HD feed.

Freeview through a normal TV aerial is HD.

Yep saw this. Very
Probably been bribed/threatened by sky.

Best bet is probably chromecast or equivalent as their sd feed is appalling

Nope. Nothing to do with Sky. Freesat have increased the fees they charge to carry C4 HD and All 4, and Channel 4 have told Freesat to do one, so Freesat have pulled the channels. Channel 4 SD, E4, More 4, 4seven and Film 4 won't be affected

I still have C4HD on my Freesat TV.

Edit: Just read this supposedly ends tomorrow.

I still have C4HD on Freeview, so it's no big deal.

I'm willing to bet it'll be back before too long. Better some revenue than none at all. Freesat runs the risk of becoming a moribund platform otherwise (if it isn't already).
