I scanned thru the channels last nite and noticed it was still there. Thought it was supposed to have gone back in November..

It was re-instated with days of it being pulled in October due to the high number of Freeview receivers that did not cope with the change, time has now run out.

This channel slot will be replaced with Sommet Sports, however no date has been set as yet.
