Six new Freesat channels

Freesat will next Tuesday add four new TV channels to the BBC-ITV free-to-air platform.

Gaelic channel BBC Alba, Asian channel Zee Music, shopping channel Best Direct and advertorial Audi Channel will all put in an appearance from September 16.

Separately, World Radio Network has helped launch Absolute Radio, the rebranded Virgin Radio onto the Freesat platform WRN has also launched sister stations Absolute Classic Rock and Absolute Xtreme.

At the same time Planet Rock, already available on Sky and DAB, will start headendbanging.

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Well I wouldn't belittle it too much, whilst these additions are nothing special, there will be some watchable channels added in the forthcoming months and in the present credit squeeze, it may be that they (Sky) will lose a lot of existing customers and potential customers to a totally free service.

My System: Standard Sky for now, but 'watch this space'

So true. Cancelled Sky the other day to save a few coins a month and the lady on the phone was saying that there is a lot of people doing the same, mainly because of the credit crunch she said.

Saying that though, there seems to be only a small amount of people taking up the freesat option, even some boxes are falling in price.
