Default Free sat anyone

Well considering british summer time starts in 12 hours where is freesat?

I never understood how we can still be in spring when we start BST

And I will never understand how BBC/ITV expect to make a go of freesat with no advertising before the launch.

Good afternoon Mr Madrat.

I posted a similar on TW last week,the man from Lincoln is semi correct,about spring,the Irish may differ.
But I agree BST in ten hours(1.00a.m. Sun becomes 2.00a.m.)
May is only eight weeks away, when peoples minds turn to outdoors
in place of inboxdoors, If the launch is to be later than April, then
I agree where are the teasers on the Beeb and ITV, some how
Terminal five may have a twin, hope not. Perhaps the wording
BST would be better put as British Standard Time, NO ill let some
Govt dept think that one up at a cost of £1M consultants advice.

Now now pontiend you know as soon as we get 2 days of sun everyone will be moaning its to hot, the global warming brigade will be in full swing and my air con will be on full blast.

Has anyone heard anything from freesat? I registered with them what seams like eons ago and have not heard a peep from them.

I've read a few posts on other forums about people that had received an email from Freesat, saying that they have decided that the public launch date is to fall provisionally within the first week of May.
