Meantime, you should be able to manually set up the Sky box to receive other channels that are broadcast from the same cluster of satellites but, for one reason or another, haven't ended up in the EPG.Ĭheck out this site to see if there are any extra channels that you want to get hold of (all those with a buff background are unencrypted): In any case, pukka Freesat receivers will be cheap as chips when they appear.

PROVIDED the software is for the right receiver. The software will more than likely be stored on Flash ROM so with the right kit you should be able to change the software
The only problem is that I may have to buy a new STB - unless anyone knows if it's possible to re-programme my Sky Digibox with new EPG software? When the BBC and ITV finally get round to launching their official, trademarked Freesat service I will look very carefully to see what channels are on it.
Virgin 1 can go hang itself based on its current line up - I won't miss it. I would watch UKTV History if it were available and Mrs T quite likes the channel 4 variants. There is no Virgin 1, which is slightly puzzling as it's a new channel and is on Freeview (I wonder whether they have simply inherited a Sky encryption deal from a predecessor channel though). There is no e4 or More 4 (I know there are contractual reasons for this, hopefully C4 will be able to resolve these early next year). My first impression is that the channel line up is adequate - especially for us, we're trying to lessen the amount of telly we watch - but it is nevertheless substantially lacking compared to the terrestrial Freeview offering. I cancelled my Sky subscription last month, and my STB now functions as a Freesat-from-Sky receiver.
