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/

There will also be a panasonic tv with freesat built in which is due out very soon : _http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/711712/index.html#anker_711712

You need to be able to get a signal from Eurobird 1 and Astra 2D at the same time. Have a read of this thread:-

Humax Freesat postcode?

I'm lost...

I'm lost...what is it that I can get through FreeSat that I can't get through any receiver picking up FTA channels from Astra 28.2E? (Apart from the HD channels if I've got a SD receiver)

A seven day EPG is one major advantage, soon with DVR facilities, also dedicated text and interactive service.

If you are not interested in either of those, then nothing much extra.

Ahh....

I set up my first satellite system only yesterday evening, so I haven't investigated it much yet (and I'm at work now). I seemed to have an EPG - are you saying that it wouldn't show me programmes much into the future? And if I add a new channel that's not in the presets, will I get EPG information at all?

Without other parts like a dish lnb cable you will pickup diddly squat. More info required, e.g where is your dish pointing.

My System: 80cm dish, 2 LBN 19.2E and 28.2E, Sradix HS-410CI HD ready signal ox
Cannot get UK Freesat

This week I had an 80cm dish installed with 2 LNBs and set to 19.2E and 28.2E. I am situated in North eastern Switzerland and of all the 2400 channels I downloaded, none were of the UK freesat channels I so want to obtain. It is all new equipment and wondering do I need to buy a viewing card for it.
Thanks for any help here.
