Why are you saying Forces TV is available on when it is not. I wasted 15 minutes retuning my TV to no avail. Please get your facts straight!

Mr T Hawkins:

This website does *not* show that Forces TV is available on ! The headings on the top of the page you have linked to do not show a Logical Channel Number under Freeview, meaning it is not available on that service.

Please see

Freeview Channels | Freeview for all the officially broadcast on Freeview - Forces TV is not there either.

It *is* available on and , though I have not checked this myself.

reverts to fiction:

Comparing Freesat 26-01-2016 14 53.txt and Freesat 27-01-2016 05 51.txt

Changed:
11426.50 H 27500 2/3 DVB-S QPSK 028.5E :TSID = 2315 --> 11427.83 H 27500 2/3 DVB-S QPSK 028.5E :TSID = 2315

The frequency of 11427.83 belonged to Eurobird, long since departed. The frequency of the ASTRA replacement is 11426.50.

The claim was made that a mechanism existed to find the Freesat Home transponder. Well, maybe, but does it work, and is it implemented by all Freesat devices? Lying about the frequency doesn't inspire confidence.

Bangla TV is back on the BSkyB box:

Hi. I am thinking of cancelling my package. After that I will have 3 choices: , via the Sky box, or Freesat via TV (using the Sky ). The TV has built in Freeview and Freesat receivers.I'd also like an easy way to record......the TV is an LG with a built-in recording facility (need to plug in USB drive) but it's not user friendly. Any advice on what I should go for in terms of Freeview v Freesat, and any advice on the recording issue?....thinking of buying a PVR. Thanks.

LM: Ok - you have a and an . Dont bother with using the TV to record to - your right in that its not user friendly.

has more in the way of boxes, although I'd just recommend Humax or panasonic. The latest ones have Freeview Play (go back 7 days, etc) wifi built in, and more than two tuners. The Humax 1400 with a 500gb hard drive will be about 199, and the Panasonic version about 229. If your getting a good Freeview , off you go.

I'm assuming you've got at least a twin LNB for your dish, so you could go for the equivalent - which is a Humax with wifi and Freetime (go back 7 days...). Starts at 189, and is a straight swap for the box.

Its up to you which one you go for, but if your canny, you can get the whole lot - ish.

If you've got an LG thats no more than 3 years old, check the back - it will probably have an 'F' fitting - for the generic sat. tuner. Thats perfectly fine with your existing dish. Its not freesat, but you can get BBC1, etc on it. next, you can carry on using your old Sky box, you just cant record, etc. So just use one imput and get 'Sky no '.

Buy a Freeview Play PVR, and hook it up to your aerial and TV. That gives you all the Freeview as well, and of course you could record using the TV's sat. tuner as well.

If its an smart LG TV, it might have Now TV preloaded or available. If its doesn't, then get a Now TV box (OK, a proper Ruku stick is even better - Sainsburys had them a couple of weeks back for 35, which is an excellent price). Now TV boxes normally come with a pass, so you can use Sky movies/sports etc for a certain time. They are hoping you will sign up to more, or even get Sky, but a lot of customers are finding its cheaper to come off Sky, and use Now TV to 'top up' their viewing with something they miss from Sky, that programme thats only available from them, etc.

If you spend about 199 on a PVR, plus a Now TV pass/box, your be out a total of about 230. Thats probably less than you'll pay for Sky for a year. Its yours (and certain stores should offer a two year warrenty as ), and you'll be able to record, pause, stream and get Netflix, Amazon, etc, plus pick and mix from Now TV. And you could you your old dish as well.
