Freesat info and freesat receiver info for you

Here is some info on freesat uk for you the main website is _www.freesat.co.uk all channels are FTA there is two HD channels BBC HD & ITV HD to access ITV HD you must press the red button when prompted when viewing itv 1 SD when a program is available in HD,

Freesat has it's own EPG and i have a humax freesat receiver myself this can also be used on other satellites and has diseqc controls and can be used with a motorized dish, Apart from the humax the other freesat receiver can not add channels so can only be used on freesat,


Five & fiver & five us will be on freesat very soon (within 3 months) when they get space on astra 2d and will leave their current home on astra 2c this has been confirmed to me by ch5 tech department,

At the moment the receiver you can get are below use the links to see photos of the receivers and the user guides for them:
Humax foxsat-hd : _www.humaxdigital.com/freesat/
Grundig HD & SD : _http://www.grundigdigital.co.uk/
Bush SD & HD : _htp://www.bushdigital.co.uk/
Goodmans SD & HD : _http://www.goodmansdigital.co.uk/
