with freesat i think you get 200 channels
what is the upside of a motorised system if you still have to pay subs...
need some kids channels and some sport pref prem footy i dont care if it,s in english
thanks for the reply

For most folks a motorised system is a hobby tool for exploring the skies. Its not a way to get guaranteed free tv. Ive got 6 dishes in my back garden, all pointing at different satellites. I actually watch very few programmes as Im far more interested in the finding whats out there and new channels that appear.

Almost all the pay tv services are secure scrambled nowadays. You are 2 years too late for multiple pay services being opened on patches & keys.

thanks thats a good bit of info cheers

Theres some really interesting stuff out there if you know where to look. Ive seen some cracking African football feeds in the last couple of months, & enjoyed ladies beach volleyball on a couple of occasions

A for new channels - have a look here:

New Channels

and see whats been reported in recent weeks.
