Not much chance of Sky News joining, though I would expect CNBC to.
All new channels help keep the service running, saying that lowering the EPG price would increase the number of channels on Freesat. £30,000 a year is a lot of money, for a small satellite service. If I were head of Freesat, I would reduce the EPG cost by half for both TV & radio. This would attract far more channels and boost Freesat sales. As a PSB platform, what about some space for local or community services? BBC local radio could also be made available. As for more quality channels, it is time the PSBs took the plunge and changed to DVB-S2 MPEG 4, this would create a lot of space on Astra 2D. Freesat should not sell MPEG2 only receivers, this could help the move to DVB-S2 and MPEG4. Just think how many SD channels you could place on a transponder using DVB-S2 with MPEG 4! |

Lack of space is not going to be a problem once Astra 2E is orbited in 2012ish.

What about the thousands and thousands of free to air SD and HD boxes only having DVB-S tuners, you can't expect SD broadcasters in particular to disenfranchise such a large slice of their audience. |

Because one doesn't wish a saturation of God channels on tv does not make them non christian or non any religious faith.

Equally because one doesn't wish to be saturated with shopping channels doesn't mean they are adverse to shopping.You probably can't see that in the same way you could only make reference to christianity!!

although shopping channels do serve a purpose for some!

Yes it is a waste of space because if it had stayed in non freesat mode it would not have been taking an epg slot.

I think that the £30,000- per annum these religious bodies spend to be on the epg would be better spent on many justifiable causes around the world'AMEN
need I go on! AMEN! |

Dvb-s2
Well on the subject of DVB-S2 MPEG4, it looks like Sky will lead the way again.
They are now offering HD receivers as standard from now on. See: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitalt...-standard.html This makes ecconomic sense, as they can save a lot of many on transponder rental and increase their HD content and offer more channels. The rest will follow in the next few years. |

It's a heck of a lot less than what NTL were charging (before merging with Telewest) - when they had little over a million customers. |

£30,000 a year to reach near on a million homes, not a lot of money in my opinion...

This is a thread for changes in channels etc, please don't use for general Freesat conversation and specific software updates. |

Freesat Information Channel
The Freesat Information Channel is now active by pressing the red button. Not a great deal on there, but at least it is now active.
