in channel positions above 100. For example, 101 (BBC1 HD) 102 (BBC2 HD) etc.
Freeview Play brings together live TV viewing with ‘‘catch up’’ TV services
such as BBC iPlayer, ITV player, More4 and Demand 5. The Freeview Play Explore
app features a carousel of genres to select from when searching for
programmes, such as sport, comedy, dramas and soaps, etc. Content is made up
from recommendations of the major broadcasters and offers an alternative means
of searching.
