Hi guys.

I’d like to get All 4 on my Humax 1100s.

Is there an app for it, and how do I get it, please?

Channel 4 HD and All-4 was removed by Channel 4 over a spat about Freesat epg fees a while ago.

Both are available on Freeview-HD and FVP units.

One alternative is to use a Chromecast dongle to plug into a spare HDMI socket on the TV and cast to that from your smartphone or tablet. Or a Firestick dongle which does not need a smartphone or tablet and comes with its own remote control. Either gives you access to all the usual free and subscription catch up and streaming services including All4.

Would all 4 be available on the new Freesat box’s?

No.

It is not available on any genuine Freesat Box. If you have a smart TV with a terrestrial aerial. chances are you have both using the aerial.

Thanks again Graham.

We do have a smart TV (OLED) but obviously cannot have pause, forward or rewind etc.

That’s the main reason for posting this thread.

But I do have a chrome cast which i could try with Gomaz’s suggestion I guess.

Thanks guys.

A smart Tv will normally allow you tor ecord and live pause by simply connecting a portable usb harddrive, This gives the TV some-here to store recordings an the buffer to allow pause and rewind live TV. It also gives you access to catch up services like All 4 though you cannot record these for later viewing. You can of course view them as many times as they are available on the player.

Make and model of TV would help.

I never gave that a thought.

The TV is….

LG OLED 55B9

Tv can record to a hard drive and will have Channel 4 – HD and recording capability.

I have a C9. But having 3 twin tuner pvrs not bothered to connect a portable usb drive.

Not sure if the TV can wake up from sby to record. You would have to try this out.

Cheers Graham.

not sure if I’ll go to the bother yet, as only want All 4 now & then.

But thanks anyway

You do not the hard drive to get all-4 or 4-HD. Just a aerial connection (and an internet connection for ALL-4). Your TV already has what you need if you have the aerial.
