4Music looks like it may be going FTA opening the way for a Freesat launch.

A new FTA test has started today in addition to the encrypted version still being used by Sky.

If anyone wants to tune it in on non Freesat mode the details are:

Frequency: 12305 H
Symbol Rate: 27500
FEC 5/6
Service ID 12000 (This is shown instead of the usual channel name).
Standard: DVB-S, QPSK

There's been no word from Freesat or The Box Plus Network about any plans to add the channel to the Freesat EPG. Freesat don't often confirm new channel launches until they've actually happened, but the addition of 4Music could be this year's Christmas present - the service has a habit of high profile launches in December.
