Price-Drop TV is coming back to Freeview. It has been announced on Bid TV that Price-Drop TV will return to Freeview on channel 43 soon. Price-Drop TV was removed from Freeview to make way for Virgin 1 to go 24 hours, but it’s thought there is now some space on the Russia Today / Big Deal stream.

The new channel from Discovery called Quest now has a placeholder on the Freeview EPG at channel 47. It’s not known yet what date Quest will start broadcasting from as the programme information just says “coming soon”. The channel may not stay at channel 47 but this is to be confirmed at a later date.

Also, Price-Drop TV (which used to be on channel 24) has been removed from Freeview. Price-Drop TV’s owners Sit-Up were outbid on one of its channel slots earlier this year and decided to remove Price-Drop TV from the Freeview platform (it continues to broadcast on cable and Sky).
