More Freesat details emerge
Monday, April 21st, 2008
We’re just weeks away from the launch of a new free-to-air service that promises a new way to get FTA channels - including new and existing HD channels. Receiver boxes should start appearing in retail outlets sometime next week and the service should start broadcasting soon after that on the same Astra 28E satellite that Sky uses (you can use your existing dish!).
This week some interesting news about the service has leaked out. The first pictures of the EPG and box of the Humax Freesat box were leaked on the Digital Spy forum and are believed to be genuine. The website also claims to have some technical specs on the box itself.
