and live on Freeview channel 276
Moore lost his job after a run of just three wins from 23 matches in charge, leaving them 21st in the Championship and three points above the dropzone.
Huddersfield owner and chairman Kevin Nagle said that the decision had been made "to give us the best chance of maintaining our Championship status come the end of the season" and described Moore as a "fantastic man" who he wished "the very best for the future".

Former Burnley man Michael Duff is the immediate favourite with the bookies ahead of Nathan Jones and Neil Warnock, who Moore only replaced in September.
Duff was also among the runners and riders for the recent vacancy at Shrewsbury Town, however Paul Hurst was last week installed as boss in his second stint in charge.
Duff was axed by Swansea City in December after less than six months in charge.

He first coached Burnley’s Under-18 squad before moving up to take charge of the Under-23 side.
His first senior position came with Cheltenham Town, where he enjoyed a four-year spell, winning automatic promotion from League Two during the 2020/21 season.
He then moved on to Barnsley, where he led the Tykes to the League One play-off final where they were narrowly beaten by Sheffield Wednesday.
