GB News app to be removed from EE TV

[JordanTA]

GB News will be removing its app from our TV boxes from today  (21^st October).

Aerial mode

• If you’re in aerial mode, you’ll still see the GB News channel in your guide on channel number 236.

Internet mode

• If you’re in internet mode, you can watch GB News on YouTube, search GB News in the YouTube App.

This is a good decision if I feel news is being influenced by others I shall no longer remain a customer of EE

Yet another one, any & all decisions are made by gbnews themselves, why can't the watchers grasp that?

@PaulMI43  I’m sorry but what ?   The GBnews app or what’s on that app has nothing to do with EE.

Hi @DarrenDev 

I note this post and GB News' own post: "From today, GB News will be available on all YouView-enabled devices, including both aerial and broadband-connected EE and BT boxes." (13th November: https://www.gbnews.com/news/gb-news-returns-to-youview)

However, I cannot find the channel on EE TV's EPG (using Apple TV box). Any ideas?

[DarrenDev]

EE TV don't offer the GB News channel @jh1191 .

GB News have made their app available on YouView boxes again, after removing it for a few weeks.  You can choose to install the GB News app from the App Store on your Apple TV.

I see. What a pity. Their app is crap - you can't rewind.

An unfortunate start to my time with EE but I'll live. Any chance at all it'll return to the EPG in the future?

[DarrenDev]

It has never been part of the EE TV EPG @jh1191 and I'm not aware of any plans to add it.

(it is available on YouView boxes in aerial mode, as the channel is delivered via Freeview - this isn't specifically from EE TV)

Ahh, I see. I was expecting EE TV to mirror what YouView offered on over aerial. Never mind! Thanks for the info.
