More4 is a British free-to-air television channel, owned by Channel Four Television Corporation. The channel launched on 5 October 2005. Its programming mainly focuses on lifestyle and documentaries, as well as foreign dramas.
Availability[]
Space was reserved on Freeview multiplex C for the channel. However, despite Channel 4 saying that the channel would appear on multiplex C, the channel appeared on multiplex 2. A place holder appeared on the Freeview EPG at number 13 on 13 September and after a time, ran a looping teaser trailer. More4 +1 became available on the DTT platform on 14 December 2005. It was removed on 18 May 2006, to make way for live coverage of Big Brother, and the Freeview launch of Film4 later in the year. More4 +1 relaunched on Freeview in January 2017 but was removed again on 30 June 2022 due to the closure of the COM7 multiplex.
While More4 is available on most cable platforms, More4 +1 was available on Virgin Media until 20 August 2007 when it was replaced by Channel 4 +1 across the digital television network. It was re-added on 15 January 2013 and in July 2023 the channel was moved to 347.
Despite initial advertising and official internet communication that it would be free-to-air on satellite television, More4 was encrypted under Sky's pay TV scheme until 6 May 2008 when it dropped its NDS encryption and went free-to-air. It joined the BBC and ITV's new satellite platform, Freesat on the same day.
More4 is available outside the UK where it is available to viewers in Ireland via Sky and Virgin Media Ireland's digital service. This led to further speculation that Channel 4 would eventually launch on Sky in Ireland, which it did in December 2006. Channel 4 has already made its other flagship channels: E4, E4 +1, Film4 and Film4 +1 available in Ireland via Sky, Virgin Media Ireland digital TV providers. Channel 4 itself is available on almost all Irish cable and MMDS systems (in some cases Channel 4 is replaced with S4C). In Switzerland, the channel is available among other Channel 4 branded channels on UPC Switzerland and on Swisscom TV.[1] The channel is registered to broadcast within the European Union/EEA through the Luxembourg Broadcasting Regulator (ALIA).[2][3]
More4 +2 launched on 16 April 2012 on Sky channel 269, in the lifestyle section of the guide.[4] The temporary channel, which aired for a limited period between 7:45 pm and 11.00 pm, was short-lived, because it closed on 26 June 2012 ahead of the launch of 4seven on 4 July.[5]
HD feed[]
Channel 4 anticipated that More4 HD would launch in 2011, however a launch did not occur.[6] As part of More4's rebrand in January 2012, ManvsMachine created the channel logo for More4 HD.[7] On 14 September 2012, Channel 4 announced that More4 HD would launch on Sky.[8] The channel then launched on 4 February 2013.[9] More4 HD also became available to Virgin Media viewers on channel 203 on 1 October 2013.[citation needed] In January 2023, Virgin Media had moved More4 HD to 147 to make it free to viewers.
