Carol: You won't get any more Freeview channels, so yes, using Freesat with your existing dish is probably the best way to get more channels. See Compare Freeview Light and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

KB Aerials Sheffield : I've spent a lot of time in TV control rooms, and after a short period of time it just becomes "screens with stuff on them", as you only hear the sound if you make a special effort to pick out a service to monitor it.
After a while, seeing many channels on many screens the actual idea of watching a single channel seems .. bizarre.
I remember being in the BT Tower MCR and thinking that it all seems like a giant computer game where you just have to keep it all working and make sure it works again as quickly as possible if anything goes wrong...

High power analogue services will knock out a digital signal quite easily.

Les Nicol: To be fair, the Digital UK leaflets do show ALL optons: Freeview, fSfS, Freesat, Sky, Virgin, BT Vision and TUTV. http://www.digitaluk.co.u….pdf .
