Are you in the ROI? Forces TV is still broadcasting in the UK. The likelihood is that Forces TV have not obtained the necessary license to broadcast in the ROI, following the UK's leaving the EU.

Forces tv and many other channels have disappeared of the sky epg in Ireland. Sky using brexit as an excuse relating to licencing issues and its not there fault they say.but really its sky thats controlling this. All these channels are available free to air on a regular satellite box throughout Ireland and Europe.

Conspiracy theories sound appealing, but you're wrong. It's the channels' decision to remove themselves from the EPG. How on earth would Sky gain by arbitrarily removing them?

Anyone with a sky sub in Ireland loose these channels but if they are not paying a sub and have a free ti air box or a TV with an integrated sat receiver all these channels on these devices are not affected so these channels are transmitting licence or no licence so in it is sky that blocks these channels on their boxs and the channels have to plug on the sky boxs in Ireland because of sky

Nope. They're not blocked, and your Sky box can still receive them. They just can't be included in the Sky TV Guide.

Yes I know . Sky are a provider for Ireland and they have no choice but to take these channels off the epg because of these new laws but its not looking good I fear there will be more casualties to come. I can see the likes of the cbs horror channels will follow soon . Sky will loose customers because of this even though they are not their channels.

Total rubbish, go to other channels in the sky settings and tune to the missing channels, you'll find they can still be accessed 🙄

Re: Forces TV 181 has disappeared

Billy+h+22 — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 15:26:50 GMT

Yes they can be accessed but the convenience of recording is gone. To access these channels you have to keep going into services and pressing a load more buttons before you actually get to watch any channels. A load of balls to be honest. That's why people are cancelling their sky subs and going free to air.

You can get it on other channels. Just key in the code etc. and it is fine. Only problem is that you can't record it.

Re: Forces TV 181 has disappeared

Brennan+d — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 15:29:52 GMT

Hi do you no the code

Re: Forces TV 181 has disappeared

lucy1885 — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 15:50:58 GMT

Frequency: 11.836

Polarisation: H

Symbol Rage: 27500

FEC: 5/6

You go into Options and then Other Channels first. Downside is you cannot record anything, but I have the same with Channel 5, ITV 3 and 4 as we ae in Ireland. Good luck

ForcesTV occupied a Freeview multiplex which has had its frequency removed from television broadcast to use for 5G cellular data : this is ultimately a Government decision, as spectrum allocation is subject to national regulation.

The British Forces Broadcasting Service has decided that this loss of coverage (on top of other factors) means that distribution on any platform other than online isn't something they can continue to fund.

“With wider changes happening to Freeview, options to continue broadcasting the channel are not financially viable for BFBS, the charity behind Forces TV, whose purpose is to entertain, inform, connect and champion our armed forces community, their families and veterans.

Do you ever bother to read the replies to your posts?

As with RT, CBS and all the other channels you've complained about they're NOT Sky channels and consequently Sky has no say in their decision to close or what they call themselves.

You're ranting at the wrong people. Again.
