why are not all freeview channels available on freesat?
surely as the freeview channels are free why are they not available on freesat?
i assume that freesat channels are not available on freeview as they are only broadcats via satelitej m lambertFriday 18 January 2013 11:41AM

Did you know your menu's are all mucked up because line 68 of css sets font to sans-serif;
replacing correct setting on line 3, and the sans-serif; font is too big for your layout!Just testing to see if it's OK to post on this page again. Mike ThomasFriday 3 May 2013 10:06PM
Llandrindod Wells Funny old world isn't it! I live bang in the middle of Wales and yet I can't get BBC Radio Wales on DAB but I can get BBC Asian!!! Can't even get Radio Wales on FM unless I erect an external aerial of at least 4 elements and point it at Carmel. I don't like the way that Freeview tend to advertise loads of channels, come to sunny Mid Wales and get the basics....sorry, I just needed a moan!!!MJ RayTuesday 7 May 2013 11:26AM
becky asked "surely as the freeview channels are free why are they not available on freesat?"
I think it's the extra cost of satellite broadcasting and getting onto the EPG. Some of the FSFS services (PickTV+1, for example) can be added as an "other channel" to most Freesat receivers, but they aren't on the Freesat EPG, so won't appear unless you add them.MJ Ray: It's not a question of the EPG listing charge for most of the not-on-Freesat channels.
The main culprit is UKTV, which is half-owned by the BBC and half by Scrips.
According to "people who know", the BBC doesn't wish the UKTV channels to be on Freesat, because UKTV is supposed to keep a "foot in each bucket" so to speak.
Thus, UKTV is subscription on Sky and Virgin, but has free-to-air channels on Freeview. updates
