Comments on: Welcome to joinfreesat.co.uk http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/welcome-to-freesat Join Freesat brings you the very latest news and information on the Freesat satellite TV service Tue, 22 May 2012 20:52:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: admin http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/welcome-to-freesat/comment-page-1#comment-7 admin Sun, 24 Feb 2008 16:54:11 +0000 #comment-7 We can't wait for freesat, its a breathe of fresh air which could quite nicely replace 'freeview'. What must be understood however is that Sky isn't just a pay-tv platform, it can offer the same channels as freesat will with no charge. Whilst you could go out and buy a freesat HD box, you could alternatively go out and buy a Sky HD box, they will view the same 'free' channels. The advantage freesat will have, certainly for a few months anyway is PVR capabilities for free, which Sky presently charge for.

In the future i will do what most people do, and read your FAQ!!! doh! Also regarding freesat, this is pure bliss to find someone to challange Sky, they have had people bending over backwards to pay for their packages, with an increase only a few months ago! The selling point for me is the HD content for free, which Sky will not do due to them being the only current HD content supplier (i think i'm correct by saying this). I will say this only once, thank you BBC, i won't complain about me licence fee anymore!!! please ignore my previous ‘post’. In the future i will do what most people do, and read your FAQ!!! doh!

I suppose it will come down to launch date, and whether that is March as you mentioned, or further on in the year when C4's existing contract is finished! HD PVR from launch would be great though wouldn't it :D Hi David, no indication has been made into whether the PVR digiboxes will be available from launch, but it is claimed that manufacturers like Humax are not ready yet.

Considering a possible launch is due in Spring 2008 (which I'll optimistically take as meaning March!) surely information should start to appear soon?
