Yes, but they lost the slot because they couldn't meet ofcoms criteria at the time. C5 has changed hands since then though, and is being run by the Diana obsessed, porn king now Smile

Watch the PQ deteriorate on all the HD channels as they try to shoehorn C5HD in what little bandwidth there is on Freeview, though Wink

''Dirty Desmond'  has now u-turned and dropped his bid for the 5th HD slot, so no 5HD for Freeview viewers.

Oh no. I'm really gutted. Really, I am. Dreadful shame such quality programming won't be coming our way.
