Men & Motors Has Gone.....
...from Freeview. To be replaced by a call in £1 quiz show channel for the unwashed called 'ITV4 Play'. Bollocks!

I so hoped you were wrong when I read this. Put it on with blank M&M screen advising of what is replacing it. I did a retune and it has not found it elsehwhere.

i have sky with only the free channels (freesat card)
cost me nothing as the communal dish on the roof was already hooked up, got a digibox of my dad for nothing
freesat card is about £20 ish from sky
dish on roof has been knocked or something and the signal is poor, which means a lot of the channels wont even hit the dish properly, but i can get men and motors and the reality channel, tbh that is the only 2 i watch anyway (never really watch tv much)
people above me had there own sky system installed as the management of the building cant be arsed to sort the communal dish out (probably only me using it tbh lol )

That's yet another channel number to delete from my list then 
I get crap inconsistent freeview reception at the best of times, men and motors was one of the few tolerable channels I could watch (reception permitting
) When they turn off the anaolgue signal I might aswell sell the TV and get a display without a tuner and save on the tv licence.

When analogue is turned off then the reception on digital will increase dramatically. The digital signal is turned right down to prevent interference with the current analogue transmissions.
Doesnt help with M&M though!

Just a quick note to let you know that I (along with everyone I have spoken to on the subject for that matter) won't be watching the cheap, seedy tat you have replaced Men and Motors with. Channel duly deleted from my list.
Thanks everso!

A Petition is now online to try and convince ITV that removing Men & Motors to bring ITVPlay is an extremely bad move.

Men & Motors have boring journos anyway, and the seedy stuff was rubbish.
FilmFour on Freeview? FFS! I used to pay £6 p/m for it on Sky, then i stopped as they show the same films on Ch4 a week or 2 later!
