Default Red button service returning according to channel4
Sorry to link to another forum but:

first post in that topic.



Looks like it will be 24 hour live feed for me then, if the series is any good this year.

Does live feed even get many ratings? The few times I've had it on, all I've saw is an out of focus shot of a leaf blowing below a spotlight with a bird singing in the background, ore else someone cleaning a table.

It's sooooooooo boring lol

Nothing has been confirmed yet but the chances of live feed returning to Freeview are very, very slim.

^Umm, if you can get the backend channel (I think it's 12005 on sky) on freeview, you may be able to watch it. Dunno, don't have freeview.

It's highly unlikely that it'll be on Freeview - C4+1 and E4+1 rate too well to replace them even temporarily with BB Live.

The best hope - and it's a long shot - is that it might replace The Hits, which C4 will be taking over later in the year and relaunching as 4 Music.


Even if no live feed on Freeview though it would be good if they expanded their text section (p444 usually) and made that a red button service with the latest news and HM info etc.

I'd only watch Live feed if something major was happening. I really wanted to watch it when Chanelle was leaving last year but they got rid of that free channel online by that point.
