[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1036988, member: 330868"] Also to note, the picture quality is a lot better on the Freesat versions of a fair few of the SD channels, especially the likes of ITV3, ITVBe, 5USA, 5Star, My5, 4Music, 4Seven, +1s etc. All the spin-offs of ITV/C4/C5 are in full 720/704x576i resolution on satellite, whereas on Freeview the ones above (along with pretty much everything else that isn't BBC or ITV/C4/C5 main channels) is in blurryvision 544x576i and looks super soft and pixellated. Having said that, as an aside I prefer Freeview when it comes to recording stuff on my HTPC - all the five main HD channels (BBC1/BBC2/ITV/C4/C5) are on the same frequency so only require one tuner to record however many of them as you want at the same time!
