Freesat did have a list on their website, but it was always totally inaccurate.”
Are they actually Freesat as in they hook into the Freesat EPG or just generic satellite receivers?
My LG telly has a satellite tuner, though it doesn't exactly shout about it, but as far as I can tell (not having access to a dish so having to rely on the manual!) it is just a generic receiver. From the sparse detail in the manual it does not appear to use the Freesat EPG, looks like you only get now-next programme info rather than the full monty 7days or whatever that Freesat offer.
