    why are we losing channels to freeview hd only?

    hi all,

    channels like film 4 +1 are now only available if you have a freeview hd box - what gives?

    are they all going to go this way?

    Looks like Community Channel (of all things!) has gone HD only, along with TruTV+1 if I'm not mistaken.

    I agree that for those of us who have neither an HD set (nor an HD Freeview box) it's a total PITA, but this seems to be one way the manufacturers are trying to force us to migrate to HD.

    Personally, I still use and prefer my 32" 16:9 analogue CRT set. I haven't yet seen a picture I prefer from any HD set short of pro gear. I think it's the backlit image that looks somehow unnatural to me.

    Due to a change in the way that Film4+1 is broadcast on Freeview, unless you have a Freeview HD TV or set top box you will no longer be able to receive the Film4+1 service post Thursday 20 November. You will still be able to receive Film4 as normal on channel 15.

    Unfortunately, we are aware that some viewers have already lost the +1 service, if you have an HD box, please try a retune, if you don't have Freeview HD, then I am afraid that the +1 service is no longer available.
