Change is part of a satellite signal upgrade. Here’s how you can withdraw them.
The UKTV has become the latest in a string of broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, to switch its satellite signal to DVB-S2-a new, second-gene broadcast system.
It is believed that satellite on the backnd is a high capacity for television – although there is no concrete difference for audiences at home at this time.
While in principle it means that the UKTV will have more capacity for additional channels, the broadcaster has not explained what it will use the additional space.
For now, the switch only affects that U&Ai, U&A and Drama, U & Eden, U & G, U & W, U and Tomorrow’s Standard Definition (SD) versions of Akash and Frequent Receive Is broadcast for.
The UKTV is home to shows such as Taskmaster, Call the Midwife, Doctor Foster, Stacey Dole Sleeps Over and Natural Curiosity of David Etanboro.
Most viewers will not be affected by direct changes.
But people with Sky +HD, Sky Q or FreSat HD/4K may lose access to UKTV channels – including the +1 channels of UKTV – after the switch and their boxes have to be resumed.
The affected channels include:
- U and Alibi (only sky)
- U & Alibi+1 (only sky)
- U and Dave
- You and Dave Ja Wu
- You and drama
- U and drama +1
- U and Eden
- U and Eden +1
- U and Gold (only sky)
- U and Gold +1 (only sky)
- U and W
- U and W +1
- U and tomorrow
- U and tomorrow +1
