5 music channels

buckden bursar · 27-04-2008, 11:43

Disappointing only one HD channel, when one would have thought that HD was the main selling point - not even Luxe TV which is FTA. Unless ITV HD will be there and that's the big launch secret.

gamercraig · 27-04-2008, 11:47

Can you manually add channels, as there are some FTA ones I want which are not on the EPG.

McBread · 27-04-2008, 11:52

Interesting that Men & Motors, an ITV owned channel, is so far down.
The choice of ITV3+1 rather than ITV2+1
Currently no sign of C4+1, E4+1 or More4+1, but I notice 123, between E4 and More4 is empty.
Does look a bit bare without Five, FiveUS, Five Life, Dave, Virgin1.
There's a hell of a lot of FTA channels who have obviously decided not to stump up the cash for EPG slots.
Interesting that from the Zone family of channels, they've paid for Romantica & Thriller, rather than the significantly more popular Reality & Horror.

How much would it cost them to go on the EPG?

or they just hasn't been added yet..

Analoguesat · 27-04-2008, 11:55

What happened to the "at least 80 channels" mentioned in the publicity - I make it about 71....

About £30k/year has been mentioned

Give it another week of adding and perhaps they'll reach 80

darnall42 · 27-04-2008, 11:58

seems a bit rubbish at the mo.no zone horror,zone reality,fight network,nme tv,setanta sports news and a lot more that i get free from my sky box

Which is a real possibility, and that the current omission of the channel 4 plc's +1 channels aren't on there already might support that.

ashjf · 27-04-2008, 12:01

Why is men & motors between o'seasproperty and chart show tv?
Should it not be with the Entertainment channels, even at the end of the entertainment channel list.

I think ITV HD may be added exactly on launch date.

i would guess that the C4's +1 channels (inc e4 +1 and more 4 +1) won't appear until they are out of sky's contract (October I believe).

That's telling - at least 6 more shopping channels to look forward to, then!

JML's channel empire perhaps

On that site, Peter Waters said "Very unimpressive" and I'm afraid I'd have to agree with him. It looks a bit threadbare currently though I'm sure it'll improve to some extent. As it is, I think I'll stick with Freeview for the moment because you still get more quality channels like half of UKTV History and More 4.

Please ignore. This has been fully covered on another thread.

I've got a quick question:

What if you input a welsh postcode? I would assume S4C and Channel 4 swap places. could someone confirm?

McBread · 27-04-2008, 13:39

Freesat's saving grace is it's a secondary venture by established enitites, and not somebody's primary business. Certainly the BBC don't need it to be an overnight success, they can wait for it to be a slow grower, and presumably the cost of running the EPG stuff isn't prohibitive. So as long as there's enough take-up for at least one manufacturer to make a PVR and for the significant channels to want to pay for an EPG slot...

linkinpark875 · 27-04-2008, 13:42

Why are all the music channels not available on Freesat? I thought you can pick up all FTA TV channels on the sky platform on a FTA receiver?

Because all the music channels would need to pay to appear on the guide listings and perhaps some cannot afford it and/or find it viable yet.

Freesat is EPG based. Broadcasters need to pay to appear on the guide listings, unlike a standard FTA machine.

You likely can add channels but I guess they won't be part of the EPG, just like the current Sky receiver arrangement.
