I subscribe to quite a few streaming services but sometimes it's nice to flick through the Freeview channels to see what's on. That's how I ended up watching an SR-71 documentary yesterday that otherwise I wouldn't have seen.

It appears though that a number of channels are closing due to EE being allocated the spectrum for 5G. These include BBC News HD and Forces TV, which is a great place to watch old episodes of CHiPs and Starsky & Hutch.

OTOH I'm not sure that Craft Extra will be missed.

Assume it'll be the same for Freesat (which I have) - shame that Forces TV's going, I love CHiPs, and they were also showing every series of The Equalizer a while back.

It looks like Forces TV are stopping in their entirety https://twitter.com/Forces_TV/status/1537019135573...
