Re: One or two new channels coming to Freesat.

BT Showcase is going HD on Freeview.

Is this channel (SD or HD) on Freesat?

It will be called Quest Red, but curiously it's only being touted as coming to Freeview, Sky and Virgin Media.

I'm wondering if it will be encrypted on satellite in the same way as Quest as Freesat isn't mentioned.

Hopefully it's a mistake and this is what Discovery meant by being "free to develop new channels" as stated after the carriage dispute with Sky.
I believe that these channels are encrypted on satellite, if this is correct, I imagine that the forthcoming Quest 2 and Quest Red 2 will not be on Freesat either
