ChrisR: You can use either a "generic" receiver or a Freesat box. "Generic" boxes will not have the right channel numbers, the full EPG or MHEG5 text services.

J/P: To be honest, sometimes people just expect you to agree with whatever bit of misinformation they have got into their head "the transmitter is broken" or even more laughably "the satellite must be broken" and get abusive because you point out that reception is the responsibility of the receiver.
On the other hand, when people say thank you, it does make it all seem worthwhile.
