Freesat And The Challenge Channel
2 Answers
Has Challenge come off of Freesat? Channel 145 ( +1 on 146 too)
Tried to look at it earlier and it states - like BBC3 & BBC4 during the day - that the channel is scrambled or not available. I thought it is on 24 hours??
Still available on Freeview.

I'm further surprised that it's not been removed from the channel list on the official Freesat website:

Most of all though, I'm surprised that Freesat is still listed as a platform on the Challenge TV website!

So my guess is that it's just a temporary glitch. (Unlike some other satellite channels, Challenge TV is actually owned by Sky. So it would seem unlikely that they'd withdraw the channel from the Astra satellites unless, for example, they needed to free up a channel for use by a new service).
