Vicksburg Daily News -

6 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Popular TV channel to disappear for millions of Freeview and EE viewers TOMORROW – but there are 2 other ways to watch
A POPULAR news station is set to vanish from regular broadcasting for millions of TV viewers tomorrow.
Al Jazeera, a 24-hour English new channel, is transitioning into a streaming-only service 14 years after is first appeared on Freeview.

Al Jazeera will live on as a streaming channel on smart TVs that support Freeview Play, Freeview’s on-demand service, or the newly launched platform Freelydlcmarine.co.ukFreely TVFreely is the country’s fresh way to watch TV without an aerial, from the makers of Freeview and Freesat[/caption]
But it’s not just Freeview customers affected.
Freely and EE TV viewers will also be waving goodbye to the channel’s regular slot tomorrow.
Al Jazeera will give up its Freeview channel 235, Freely hybrid TV viewers on channel 306, and EE TV customers on channel 235.
Despite a transition to Wi-Fi streaming, Al Jazeera is not available on EE TV boxes switched to Internet mode.
The shake-up is a result of an expiring Digital Terrestrial carriage deal between Al Jazeera’s English channel and Freeview multiplex operator Arqiva.
That’s why the channel removal is scheduled to take place outside of Freeview’s monthly channel update, which usually occurs on the third day of each month.
Even though the channel is ending regular broadcasts, there are still two ways you can tune in.
Al Jazeera will live on as a streaming channel on smart TVs that support Freeview Play (Freeview’s on-demand service), or the newly launched platform Freely.
Which channels?
On Freeview Play, Al Jazeera’s English channel will remain on channel 251, where it has been since August.
Al Jazeera Arabic is available on channel 252.
On Freely, Al Jazeera English is free to stream on channel 557, and its Arabic version on 558.
Freely users must note that, while Al Jazeera will be streamed over Wi-Fi, they will still need to be hooked up to a TV aerial.
The TV aerial is used to supplement your connection if you experience a broadband outage.
While Freely users with a satellite capable smart TV can continue watching via satellite.
What is Freely?
Freely is the country's newest way to watch TV without an aerial, from the makers of Freeview and Freesat.
It is a platform that comes built into select smart TVs after launching in April this year.
Freely is operated by the main broadcasters, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 via an umbrella company known as Everyone TV.
This means it has full access to the content that comes out of the UK’s Big Four broadcasters – that’s around 70,000 hours worth of content, according to Freely.
The platform hosts big-hits like The Traitors, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Happy Valley, Doctor Who, Married at First Sight and Strictly Come Dancing.
Through Freely, viewers can watch live TV channels, as well as access streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and now U (formerly UKTV).

KATIE Price showed off her latest pet online today – just days after she was slammed by a charity for buying a new one.
The 46-year-old splashed out £800 on a sphynx cat despite her bankruptcy problems and introduced the kitten as the ‘newest member of her family’.

Katie is well known for her love of petsGettyKatie has been slammed by PETA once again[/caption]
In one shot Katie, who is currently on holiday, was seen stroking the cat – revealing it’s hairless design.
In her memoir Katie detailed Frog’s close bond with her boyfriend JJ Slater, before continuing: “A few weeks after writing this chapter, we noticed that Frog stopped jumping on the side of the kitchen.
“Then he couldn’t jump on the sofa. Then he couldn’t jump up on the bed. There was something wrong with him so I took him to the vets.
“He had a neurological disease. There was absolutely nothing I could do. Within days it had spread through his body right to the point that he couldn’t even go to the toilet on his own. So I cuddled him in my arms and he had to be put to sleep. He was only five months old.”
Founder Ingrid Newkirk told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn’t care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable.
“If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.”
She continued: “Shame on Price and the greedy breeders who keep selling or “gifting” animals to her as promotions.
“PETA’s financial offer – of £5,000 if she agrees never to acquire any more animals – still stands, and we implore her to take us up on it.”
Katie's troubled pet history
November 2017: One of Katie’s horses was killed on the A24 after it broke lose from its field. She announced the death on social media and said she was devastated.
February 2018: Katie’s dog Queenie was hit by a car near her home, with the former model blaming a delivery driver for leaving the gate open.
November 2018: Katie claimed the family’s pet chameleon, called Marvin, died from a broken heart after her children Junior and Princess moved in with her ex husband Peter Andre.
February 2020: Her Alsatian Sparkle lost her life after getting loose and being hit by a car. Katie posted the news on social media but was hammered by fans who called for her to be more careful.
July 2020: Fans rounded on Katie after her daughter Princess’s puppy Rolo suffocated. JRC Bullies who gifted the dog to Katie were furious and said: “We are heartbroken that this has happened as we told Katie not to leave a small puppy on its own. We can’t believe that the puppy was left unattended as we had left strict instructions.”
November 2022: Katie came under fire after she revealed her Pomeranian Sharon had been hit by a car and killed outside her Horsham home.
June 2023: Katie was slammed by PETA after her seventh pet was killed. She revealed her dog Blade had been run over on the same stretch of road as her last dog Sharon.

DRIVERS in the market for a seriously good-looking set of wheels that won’t break the bank are in luck.
A YouTube star Jonny Brighton of the channel Cars With JB has picked out a handful of low-priced second-hand motors that look “incredibly good” for £2,000 or under – including a rather niceMercedes convertible.

AlamyPetrolheads can also pick up a Hyundai that caused quite a stir when it was released due to its apparent resemblance to a Ferrari model[/caption]
Honda CR-Z
AlamyHonda’s CR-Z was considered the sporty competitor to the Toyota Prius[/caption]
The stylish Honda CR-Z combines good looks with hybrid fun, and examples can be found for bargain prices in 2024 – with all models dipping in price in recent years, according to Jonny.
In fact, the car fanatic said an example from 2011 can be bought for just £2,000 – although expect that to come with high mileage.
Known to petrolheads as the spiritual successor to the CR-X, the CR-Z even reflects its older brother’s design motif.
Built between 2010 and 2016 (but retired in Europe in 2014), the CR-Z aimed to be a more sporty version of the fabled hybrid Toyota Prius – turning the philosophy of the pioneering motor into a sports coupe.
Even former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson was a fan, describing it as “odd in a pretty way” in a review in 2010 as he favourably compared it to the old CR-X, a car he admits he “liked very much.”
Volvo V50 R-Design
Highly practical and sporty, the classic Volvo estate packs a punch and some good looks with the V50 R-DesignGetty
Volvo are well known for their fast estates, with the V50 R-Design perhaps the most famous of the lot.
The sporty iteration of the highly-practical family motor comes with an “aggressive” body kit and five-spoke alloys – making it look seriously good.
Jonny added: “It looks super clean, and it’s also obviously practical.”
Amazingly, these can be found for around £1,000, while a high-mileage example from 2010 can be bought for just double that.
Hyundai Coupe
Looks aside, the Hyundai Coupe is well equipped and well known for being reliableAlamy
The modern classic Hyundai Coupe is a bargain in 2024, with Jonny claiming these can be found for as little as £1,200.
He said: “For the money this really isn’t bad looking, and it’s something that I’ve seen young drivers get as their first or second car.
“They’re certainly a bit different to a [Vauxhall] Corsa or [Renault] Cleo.”
According to AutoCar, the Coupe caused “quite a stir at launch” due to its apparent resemblance to the Ferrari 456 GT with its long nose and curvy flanks.
Looks aside, the Coupe is well equipped – regardless of which one you pick up – and they’re known for being reliable.
Toyota Celica
The well-loved Toyota Celica was a bit hit in the 2000s and is now a reasonable bargain buyAlamy
The iconic seventh (and final) generation of the Toyota Celica is one of the best loved sports cars of the early 2000s – and made sure the famous nameplate finished with a flourish.
Designed to be a sporty, affordable car with a practical interior, the Celica boasted an aggressive design and a tasty 1.8-litre engine, capable of hitting a top speed of 127 mph.
Jonny said that £1,000 is enough to get into a Celica, while £2,000 will buy you a 2004 model with high mileage.
Mercedes SLK
The baby Mercedes SLK can be mistaken for the mythical SLR McLarenAlamy
The looks of the baby Mercedes SLK can be deceiving – as it somewhat resembles the very cool Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
The SLR was born from Merc’s long-standing relationship as engine supplier for the McLaren Formula 1 team – and is considered a highly-desirable sports car.
Jonny said: “The SLK is probably the closest looking Mercedes to the McLaren SLR… it really does look like a baby SLR in the right spec and at the right angles.”
The reason for this likeness is that the car’s designer was the same man that designed the SLR, although the SLK doesn’t quite come with the same amount of power.
The SLK features a 1.8-litre motor that has a 160 bhp kick – taking it to 60mph in 7.6 seconds.
In terms of looks, Jonny stressed: “Make sure you got on with the AMG stylings; it makes them look so much more striking.”

AN URBAN explorer has unearthed an incredible collection of abandoned cars outside a derelict house.
YouTube star Colin Hodson, better known as The Bearded Explorer, recently posted a video of him and his friend searching through the grounds of a derelict house.

Among the discoveries is a classic VolkswagenGolf, a seldom seen Renault van and even a classic Triumph sports car – which has recently become a UK favourite after its appearance in the final episode of the Grand Tour.
In the opening minutes of the video, Colin comes across a Mk4 VW Golf that looks a little worse for wear.
The famous hatchback, which was released in its fourth-gen spec between 1998 and 2003, was seemingly having some repair work done to it before it was left dumped.
Commenting on the motor, Colin said: “You know what, these are actually really, really good cars, very reliable for what they are and actually they don’t return a bad miles per gallon, either.”
An estate version of the Golf, which Colin reveals to be “actually quite rare”, is then found parked just a few metres away next to an old Renault Trafic van.
Further into the grounds of the house, Colin is shocked to find an iconic British classic that’s recently become one of the UK’s must-have motors.
In recent weeks, AutoTrader has reported that adverts for second-hand Stags have seen a 793% bump in views following the special.
Unsure if it is indeed a Stag or the similar-looking Spitfire model, Colin describes it as a “lovely little car” all the same – although he quickly finds that an animal has built some kind of nest inside it.
Deeper into an overgrown area filled with stinging nettles, Colin finds a Mk2 VW Golf – a hot hatchback that’s widely considered a collectible in 2024.
Found with over 115,000 miles on the clock and with an interior covered in mould, Colin is surprised at how well kept its bodywork still is – despite having “seen better days”.
Colin has become a well-known figure on YouTube for his exploration videos – with a barn-find discovery back in August surely one of his most incredible.
