More channels FTA this morning

Martinwatkins 06/05/2008, 10:36
With the imminent arrival of Freesat,   I can report that

More4
4Music
E4

have all now shed their Sky encryption shackles and are free to air.

A quick rescan on 10729 MHz 22000 kbps 5/6 FEC   V Pol

should find them.

I must say it IS rather fun watching these channels draining away from Sky's control.

We should remember that - for all its faults - it was the BBC who first bravely pioneered the route to free to air digital satellite on national British channels.   Five years on and we're seeing some real progress.

Hi Martin

We only have Freeview with an outside aerial on our house here, although I have a sky box with a viewing card I do not have a satellite dish (well only a portable caravan one). Now I am a complete novice when it comes to sky, freesat, HD! so my question is if you were putting in a brand new system what would you buy? I ask this because we will be converting a barn to live in this year and I would like to know what is the best system for the future, HDtv with inbuilt freesat?? we are not into sky, but maybe we should!

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Jackie

At least with a spell-checker I can appear somewhat educated!

Well spotted Martin. Ends months of frustration over More 4 which seems to have loads of stuff on which I want to watch. More programme clashes now, I guess. Blink [blink]

and the +1's went FTA about an hour after the main feeds, so maybe you won't have any clashes Coops!

I don't think yuo can GET a TV with inbuilt Freesat (yet!).

If you've got the Sky box you may as well stick with that for the moment (assuming we can get it working properly!) as the launch of Freesat doesn't ultimately make any difference to the way a Sky box already functions.

But we'll talk about it when you're over, when you'll discover I'm such an old fuddy duddy that I stil prefer cathode ray tubes!

What freesat will give you that sky doesn't is Hi Def TV for free.
