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.
