TLC The TV Channel is BACK
Freesat viewers regained access to Warner Bros Discovery’s entertainment channel TLC on Monday after being temporarily blocked from viewing the TLC service over the weekend.
Mystery over issue that stopped Freesat viewers tuning in
TLC HD on Freesat channel 144 and TLC+1 on 150 became unavailable over the weekend after the satellite signal carrying both services was re-encrypted. The channel and its timeshift service had only been added to Freesat in the past week.
As Freesat receivers don’t support encrypted channels, viewers received an error message when trying to access the channel. That left Freesat users unable to watch the first episodes of Young Sheldon spin-off comedy Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Sky satellite viewers with a valid subscription were not impacted. Freeview and Freely were also not affected.
Late on Monday morning (19 January), the encryption was lifted allowing Freesat devices to access both services as normal.
