ITV HD will be showing the recent remake of the classic movie "King Kong" at 7:50pm on Saturday on Freesat HD. It is accessed in the usual ITV HD way - by selecting ITV1 on Freesat and pressing the red button.
Humax Freesat+
On the rumour front, a Freesat powerpoint slide has been shown giving the Freesat+ box from Humax, with the 360Gb drive, a priced of 299. And it seems possible it will also be able to work with Freeview too - apparently.
Fives on Freesat
Also a Freesat representative has given a fixed date for the arrival of five, Fiver and Five US - November 2008.
Is RDM an attempt by Sky to stop Freesat?
It also appears, if the information is correct, that BSkyB is getting a little worried about Freesat. UK Free TV has been told that a "front company" for the satellite-subscription broadcaster called RDM has been offering "lucrative commercial contracts" to satellite installation companies "for the non promotion of Freesat and the non installation of Freesat on customer's sites."
The deal is reported to offer equipment subsidy, interest free loans and a continuous amount of Sky work instead. The deal is said to have been offered to companies in Glasgow and Newcastle. The company has contacted a number of private installation companies this deal by telephone.
Sky have a reputation for "playing hard ball" when their rather monopolistic business is under threat.
UK Free TV asked Freesat to comment, but they have so far declined.
If it is true, it would appear that Sky feel they have a real competitor on their hands?
Looking at the viewing of Sky's channels in the official BARB figures, it would seem that viewing of their channels is heading south! Currently the total viewing of ALL the Sky Sports channels is less than 2%.
If only 6% of viewing is to their channels, many viewers may opt to stop paying their Sky subscriptions and replace their Sky+ for a Freesat+ box, as this will provide a lifetime of subscription-free viewing - with High Definition thrown in.
why cant sky and freesat just join and get on with there bussiness i hhave both and they are fine sat boxes and they both do the same jb but one have more channel then the over but who cares aslong as it digtail as it getting changed from anlog but you could also blame freeview company to with the recorder in to they all do the job
wht i would like to see on freesat is five us fiver some sport channells and vigin tmf and skyone hope they put them on soon as iam getting bored with freesat as there no new channels cuming on
hi my itv1 hd has stopped on my freesat bos it say its to do with connection but my channel 4 hd worksd so does my bbc1 hd and bbc hd so why doesnt itv its stopped on friday 29/6/12
My Freesatbox keeps giving No or Bad signal reports in the evening. Anyone else having this problem. I can switch to Newhaven Freeview for some channels, but no use if watching Tour de France on itv4.
