Thanks Tommy

But in all fairness how in hell can Emma Scott M.D Freesat get overly excited about CNN joining Freesat, hand on heart how often would you every switch on CNN ? if it had been Fox News or CBS news I would be prowed of myself, Emma Scott fails to understand that CNN is on nearly every platform across the world and why would they turn down Freesat UK's offer ?

And I see listed as up coming channels for Freesat Rural TV and JML Home & DIY, my God here comes all the crap nobody watches, all freesat will become is a means to broadcast the channels that Sky need off there receivers to fit new channels on Sky have only 1000 places on there receivers channels on Astra 2 is up to 1034 or so, Freesat turning into a bin for Sky .
