Just been diagnosing an issue with the FreeviewHD+ box downstairs (typical software stupidity, needed rebooting), and I spotted a new local channel on the cards, it's on channel 791, and the testcard is pretty basic, but has a little Pong style block bouncing back and forth under the text, quite mesmerising actually, even my cat Spud was watching it bouncing back and forth, over and over again..... :blink:

Haven't got anything to do screenshots or get all those numbers, but, here's a couple of photos anyway... :D

"Made in Tyne & Wear" is probably the channel name - theres not much else due to launch in the north east

Bishop Auckland? I live 6 miles from there! :) Anyway we can pick up these new local TV stations, but it's on the back of the aerial as we're on Bilsdale. Not sure if there is any planned to broadcast from there.

Got that one here too, "CONNECT 4" has been on the EPG since last year, but naff all has happened on there... :confused

Could be something for Channel4, with a number like "234" and the name Connect 4, it could be an interactive service or something at a guess...

Probably just sitting there intentionally wasting space to stop decent channels having a reasonable bitrate I guess... :rolleyes:
