With a Freesat decoder can one receive programmes from other satellites?

Thanks Topper.By the same token can i receive with a Free to Air receiver all the channels that are available on the Freesat decoder.If in the affirmative why purchase a Freesat decoder/receiver.

Well apart from C5 which is FTV and not yet FTA and the fact there is no dedicated freesat epg............... very little, you do of course get the chance to Beta test them now isn't that fun!

Edit, having said that I just realised that you are in South Africa so the answer must be for you no

Because it has a proper EPG, and the idea is for it to be much easier to setup than your usual FTA receiver.
