Your EXISTING FTA box (if you have one) will pick up all these newly liberated channels if you do a rescan.   What existing non Sky FTA boxes will NOT do is to give you interactivity or the full weekly EPG. So NO PURCHASE NECESSARY to watch ch 4/More 4/E4 etc    Report

Yes, a freesat box with HD facilty should give you the BBC HD channel without forking out to Sky - and perhaps more to come. It should also, eventually when they are launched, enable to you to buy a Sky plus type box - also without subscription. Tim p.s. Keep forgetting, they like to spell freesat with a lower case 'f'    Report

And the signal routing is a nightmare.    Even I can't get it to work sometimes.....    Report

We have remotes for: Surround sound system TV DVD player (rarely used) Computer Sky box A French sat box and an all in one that doesn't really work well as an all in one. All those confuse the crap out of me! I predicted years ago that soon everything will be controlled by one system or computer, and it seems that is proving right. You can record tv, watch tv, listen to music, watch movies, dvds etc all on the computer and with ever impoving sound cards, decent surround sound will be possible there as well. But back to the original topic, I've never heard of these new channels available to us, so will have a peak later. Your Property in France    Report
