Hi all. Ref SL65/12 mine has ALI 3329 C1 chip with no heatsink. Still patchable? All responses gratefully received

Hi 08Lancs

Never heard of a C1 chip on one of those. Should be a 3329C B1, A1 or E1. When did you buy it? Where from?

Apologies Sol. Just took a little more care checking it is of course a 3329C E1. Bought from Lidl end of April on a whim. Hadn't even heard of Freesat at that time but wrongly expected to get the range of programs on it as on Freeview. Now I should just like to get Channel 4. Have emailed 4 and Freesat. Channel 4 say it's not their problem, Freesat don't even reply.

Not sure, but I think Ch4 won't be FTA on satellite for a while. Search elsewhere on this forum for more info about the Freesat channel line up.

If you want to know more about how to get lots more channels on other satellites, I suggest you look at the forums at satboard.uk.to.

Channel 4 has been FTA on Astra 2D since just before Freesat launch.

Scan 10729V 22000 - May still be named '8350'
