Could this be the first freesat??

Maplin > HD Satellite Free-To-Air Kit

This was the bit that made me think.

Set-top box is preloaded with channels and regions to simplify installation process

actually looking on the maplin website there are now a few kits for FTA satellite, but where as they normally came with 80cm dishes there are now new kits being offed with zone 2 mini dishes ??

Doubt it - its a Fortec Passion box with a dish. The true bbc freesat kit is reported to have a wizard which sets up your location and regionalises it accordingly

could be they are getting in first. If its true that freesat will be 100% free with no encryption any receiver will do. Just made me wonder why they have started offering kits with "sky" shaped dishes.

Posting of hacks, keys etc etc is not allowed on this site

If you post any hacks or keys here you won't be getting your feet under the table, you will be history
