Re: Astra 1N
In simple terms it means that C4 will be able to put more HD content on the Astra system.

SES are planning more sats so freesat HD should really take off in the next few years

Re: Astra 1N
What we need now is a similar announcement from Channel Five, although they are usually so slow off the mark they may not actually have heard of Astra 1N yet. Perhaps someone should drop Dirty Desmond a quick email ...
---------- Post added at 19:43 ---------- Previous post was at 19:30 ---------- Of course, what Freesat users really want to see is ITV2/3/4 in HD on Freesat. Unfortunately there's the small matter of that exclusivity deal they signed with Sky. I wonder whether they intend to keep renewing that, or if they were making the best of being unable to get spare spot-beam slots available at the time. |

I don't have PayTV at all, instead I have a freeview PVR and also a motorized sat from which I can stream from to any PC in the house.

The genius of Sky's marketing is that even today many people don't realise just how many of the channels they watch via their satellite dish don't require any subscription at all. Or even a Sky box. |

We looked at the stuff that we watched / recorded and it was all on FTA channels. The only channel i really miss is Discovery. Must really get around to punting the Sky+ HD box on to some unsuspecting mug while it still has some value :p: |
Re: Astra 1N
And, thanks to Astra 1N, your lovely Humax Freesat box is about to become better value still. With the significant uplift in spot-beam capacity, more channels than ever before will be able to go FTA for the UK only without having to get into messy pan-Europe rights negotiatons with their content providers.
The mood music suggests Fiver, 5* and Film4, all in HD, could be available to Freesat users in the reasonably near future. Who knows, for viewers in Scotland it's just possible that the useless shower of muppets that run STV might manage to launch an HD version of their channel. It would be preferable to mucking around with the box to pick up ITV1-HD. |
