Information gleaned from Freesat receivers sold before the official launch
has revealed that a relatively modest number of channels have so far
agreed to take a slot on the subscription-free digital satellite service's
electronic programme guide.

Presumably this will get corrected!

Anybody know if the Freesat licence prevents this?

What licence ?
Astra is registered in Luxemburg

FilmFour

(Why no FilmFour+1?)

It became ITV2+1

True Movies
True Movies 2
Movies4Men
Movies4Men2

(Porn channels the last two are they?)

You've never had SkyFreesat have you?
Or just Astra2 / Eurobird1, 28.5east, without the SkyFreesat card

Playboy TV is the closest you'll get to porn

Freesat as in BBC and ITV's Freesat ( www.freesat.co.uk ) -- and they
licence STB makers to use the Freesat brand. Maybe this licence forbids
the branded STBs from receiving free-to-air channels that are not in the
Freesat EPG. That's what I was querying. Understand now?

Try Eros TV on Hotbird. There's about 300 porn channels there, half of which
are not scrambled.
