TiVo issued a lineup change a few days back and deleted "35 MM" via Freeview, but hasn't moved or replaced it with another channel. According to the Freeview website it's still on ch35. Any ideas?

Yes - the Freeview website is wrong!

If you go into 'channels I receive' you should see you should have ITV Play on 035 waiting to be selected.

Not that you would want Tivo to record ITV PLAY :D There are reports on Digital Spy that Tivos are adding Smile TV on freeview channel 37.

Rechecked Freeview and iit's definitely deleted MM. On the Freeview website they've updated their Flash footer
http://www.freeview.co.uk/flash/footer.swf
to include the ITV Play logo, but not their PDF,
http://www.freeview.co.uk/channels/channellineup.pdf
which appears to be a very good source for logos - and, of course, being PDF means you can zoom in, thus making capturing a large source image an easy task.

This inspired me to check my Telewest EPG.

Surprisingly, even though I remain on the basic package, MM which was once considered a 'Premium' channel is now available to me.

So for Telewest users that are interested:

add 286 to 'channels you receive'!

MM was removed from Freeview by ITV over a week ago - it was replaced by ITV Play.

Is there any indication why it's been removed from the scheduling? From what I've seen so far the lineup on ITVPlay is a pile of poop!

There is limited space on freeview and I guess ITV prefer to broadcast ITV PLAY instead of MM. You can still get MM on Sky and cable.

And you are more likely to get it right if you guess - because the obviously only right answer will not be correct.

So ITV Play will make much more money than Men & Motors.

There are reports on Digital Spy that Tivos are adding Smile TV on freeview channel 37.

And over the weekend, Tivo deleted it. :D
