Discovery channels make their money from subscription revenue, so if you want them, you unfortunately have to pay for them by opting for Sky instead. They cannot be free on Freesat, and payable on Sky.

Hi All,

Ive just ditched sky and gone freesat via my new flatscreen with a humax box and I wish I haddnt. The humax box remote is like a fisher price version of a remote control with rediculus buttons which you end up pushing several times to get it working. It only works about 2ft from the box too. Also Freesat for HD is the biggest load of pants Ive ever seen….

Very dissapointed and may even go back to sky.

Hiya I have had my Fressat Humax for a few months and its proving very reliable. Better thatn the Top TV boxes were. Sky was a waste of money. repeat, repeat and more repeat of same episodes. But when Humax add or take channels away from us, could they not tell us which they have added or removed. Would be useful to me.

Cheers

PPS another thought, SKY TV signal is pretty abissmal even on a 60cm dish some of the channels get very blocky and freeze is this because SKY has crammed too many channels on to its beam and weakened the signal on some channels.
Freesat at the moment is very good and even its weaker channels (like 141) can be used when setting up the caravan but I worry that Freesat may go this route and muck up the signal quality as they dumb down the quality of programme for the quantity of channels!
I can at present pick up Freesat on a 43cm sky dish on a tripod and get a brilliant signal!

PS I also want to see all the freeview channels transmitted on freesat so I can watch them when caravanning in dorset, a real bad place for terrestrial tv.
