Re: One or two new channels coming to Freesat.

Sadly I've not had cable for well over a decade now ... I'm very, very off-net.

I've seen some freesat receivers where, if the dish isn't 100% in line, it can lose the EPG/Info feed and miss out on channel updates.

Can you receive CBS Reality (135)?

If you force the box to re-scan for channels they should come up. Exactly how you do that will depend on which box you have.

That should work, but check you get CBS Reality (135) first, to make sure the dish is aligned. I had some big problems with a setup where after doing a rescan (to force channel updates) the unit refused to accept any regional variations. Turns out the dish was misaligned.

In that case give the channel re-scan a go.

Unfortunately, the Freesat launch of this channel has been delayed by a week or two.

A little bird tells me that 4 Music is now preparing to go FTA and will probably join Freesat.

It's definitely coming. AIUI, they bought the EPG slot from Showcase on Sky because there is a shortage of SD EPG slots.

There isn't on Freesat, so they probably found it cheaper to start up the channel from scratch as opposed to obtaining the Freesat EPG slot from Showcase.

Not sure if this would require a new satellite broadcasting too, as it's a brand new channel on Freesat, as opposed to being an existing Channel with a change of use.
