C5 FTA: Freesat

First thing i saw yesterday was "The scheduled programme cannot be
received via Freesat" or something similar. So, will there be only a
crippled version of Five on Freesat?

What programme was it ?

AIUI there's a rights clash with some programmes also shown by Ireland's RTE
and TV3 ?

The UK-Free website (which has been known to post inaccurate information

That does makes sense given that C5 will be on BBC DTT Mux B starting
with Selkirk on Nov 20th, and it's in the Beeb's interest as Freesat
stakeholders to help C5 go FTA.

FIVE CONFIRMED ON FREESAT

I am very pleased to tell you there is now an official date for Five to
launch on Freesat. You may already know how to add it manually since its
appearance FTA this week but by the 18th of this month, you won’t need
to do this. Also, all existing Freesat receivers will have Five
automatically added at the same time.

So if you or your customers have been waiting for Five to join the
Freesat party, there’s no need to wait any more. Your Eurosat Branch has
stocks of SD (the lowest cost Freesat option) plus HD (the only way to
get official free and exclusive Freesat HD content) plus can now take
your advance orders for the latest Humax twin Tuner Freesat HD PVR
arriving later this month.

Freesat, the free-to-air digital satellite TV service, today announced
the forthcoming addition of Five onto the platform on Tuesday November 18.

Since launching in 1997, Five has developed a strong reputation for a
wide mix of entertainment, documentaries, features, news, sport and
children’s programmes.

The channel’s Autumn schedule includes: Paul Merton in India, 1968
Unseen, Dangerous Adventures for Boys, Unbreakable and Axe Men.

Commenting on the addition of Five to the service, Freesat MD Emma Scott
said “We’ve been looking forward to welcoming Five onto Freesat since we
launched – and we know viewers have too. Five is a fantastic addition
and we’re thrilled that the large number of homes that have already
chosen Freesat will now be able to enjoy Five alongside around 140 other
channels available without a subscription or contract.”

Charles Constable, Director of Strategy at Five, said “I am delighted
that Five will be available to Freesat viewers. Our launch will support
three of Five’s objectives: to be universally available throughout the
UK, to let viewers watch our programmes on the platform of their choice,
and to enable as many people as possible to watch Five free of charge.”

Five will automatically be added via viewers’ Freesat digital boxes or
integrated TVs to channel 105, so viewers will not need to take any
action to access the channel.

Contact your Branch now for any questions and to place your orders!

Light of Aria complained:

with DOG s**t smeared over.

BUT, at least the new DOG on Five is translucent and nowhere
near as obtrusive as the vile shocking pink in-your-face
DOG on BBC-3.

I don't watch C5 as a rule but I was passing TV showing C5 and the DOG
was very obvious and much more obtrusive than it was a few months ago.

I've never watched BBC3 so I can't comment on their DOG.

On the subject of DOGs I have a theory on why they are really used --
to check the audience level. When the complaints about DOGs finally
drop to zero then they will know they have driven all their viewers
away.
