List of television channels in the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Takbeer (talk | contribs) at 06:42, 18 December 2011 (→‎T). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of television stations in the United Kingdom available on digital terrestrial, satellite and cable systems. Some channels have a "timeshift" service, i.e. the same programming (and usually advertisements as well) broadcast one or two hours later to give viewers another chance to catch a favourite programme. These channels are shown underneath the original channel number. Channels shown in bright green are available without a subscription, and are therefore free-to-air. Those which are in a paler green can only be accessed via a viewing card.
