BBC believe Harrogate is in Yorkshire so we get BBC Leeds.

BBC believe York is in Yorkshire so gets BBC Leeds

ITV believe Harrogate is in Tyneside so we get Tyne Tees

ITV believe York is in Yorkshire so get Yorkshire TV

Harrogate is 16 miles from Leeds, York is 34.

Work that one out!!

ITV are idiots. But we knew that anyway...

Penetration of

Yourshire prices? Well that'll be about a dozen stately homes and
castles then.

However I can find you a ton of streets in and above that price
range here in london that don't have any sort of satellite dish.
And I'm not talking about conservation areas either.

In non-DTT areas many dishes are for Freesat.

That would be impressive given it was only launched a few weeks back
and the receivers arn't even in the shops yet.

Your ignorance is astounding.

Maybe they'd sold out, I bought mine more than a week ago.

What model/manufacturer and where from?

Funny. Fact is freesat boxes are only just appearing in the shops and
there were none in the Comet I visited. Not surprising since it was
only launched 2 weeks ago.

And you can't receive BBC Radio Leeds in Harrogate, but you can get BBC
Radio York (or whatever they call it these days)

OMG - you have reminded me of allowing my RDS radio to get traffic
announcements up that area. I used to pick up so many stations that it
felt like 59 minutes of every hour was filled up by them.

Freesat was launched on Tuesday, 6th May, three weeks ago and I bought a
Humax from Comet on the 9th.

We've been installing Freesat, using Sky boxes of course, for years and
years.
