I heard something on the radio about a new British satellite with a
footprint covering the whole of the British Isles. I think it was up
and running and with limit channels which were to be extended in the
Autumn.

I have tried Google but to no avail. Does anyone know where there is
more info?

Not a new satellite, a new service.

Same old Astra2 mostly 2D at 28 east
But with new EPG service offered by BBC/ITV and STBs to match

According to http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=whatson.Main
there doesn't seem to be any Channel 5 or any Dave.

I can imagine this being a block stopping people migrating from Analog
and from Digital (terrestial / Sky) respectively; never mind the lack
of appropriate regional coverage as Bill says.

Freesat comes from the same sats as Sky - indeed it is the same signals,
but the Freesat box responds to a different EPG.

five/five US/fiver/dave/Film4 are all still broadcast through Sky and as
as such encrypted. They should become FTA later this year or early next.

It's a problem of existing contracts to Sky, once they are free of them
you can be sure they and many new ones will join BBC/ITV freesat.

Film 4 is already FTA, and on the Freesat EPG (Ch 300 according to Radio Times)
