Lisa: Yes, just plug in one of the connections to the TV and you will get Freesat HD, no subscription is required.

fred: If you got the PSB1 channels (BBC One, BBC TWO, BBC three, BBC FOUR etc) on Freeview today, you will get the rest of the services next week as they will all broadcast at the same high power level of 4kW, rather than the current mixture of .2kW, .4kW and 1kW.

ALAN PEACHEY: It's up and running on Astra 1N on 10832MHz H 22000 5/6 if you want to do a manual add, I am sure that Freesat will use it in your EPG very soon.

Michael: I am using the standard industry definition that the BBC, ITV plc, STV, UTV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 (and S4C of course) are the "public service broadcasters", but yes, some of the channels provided by "public service broadcasters" are run on a commercial basis, as they do not have PSB rights/obligations as individual channels.


As it was these PSBs that launched a joint campaign to ask for the price reductions, it is fair to report in that context.
