MikeB yes I said it was not on Freesat but it is considered to be PSB or so I thought so should be on Freesat IE all platforms.

"It must also be remembered the Freesat is totally dependent on Sky"
Trevor how please as Brian told me above that the BBC have contracts direct with SES Astra for the transmission and this is only about payment to SKY for the Sky EPG.
Freesat do their own EPG cheaper see above too.

I have not seen Sky for a while but if setting up again it would be the first system to consider because of its for the user technically far better.
I really hate the Freesat and Freeview box/TV makers being out of control and all operating differently.
Sky boxes all the same to the user and with same remotes controls, updates happen automatically.
As for the Freeview and Freesat program numbers and order they make no sense to me at least.

Had no experience of the various boxes for Freesat so not seen the EPGs, of course I said the numbers for Programs for Freeview and Freesat set by the 2 firms to be a strange allocation and to me neither are user friendly.
Nest time I see a Sky and can have the RC for a few minutes I will see if Sky is better, I suspect they will be.

We have a very bad system here in the UK, seems only Sky have control over the box product and system.

Yes a lot better now, thanks.
I was worried it was going to cost lots more to provide terrestrial/Freeview thus in the future it would be phased out in favour of satellite.
