Thanks for that info.

I have just bought a Panasonic with built-in Freesat (I had free view from Sky before that)

Will it automatically include them when they go live or will I have to tune them in?

[Salty Sam]

Your box should automatically retune itself.

From Freesat's site, [quote]As long as you switch your digital box or freesat TV off (overnight for example) it will automatically update itself. With Humax boxes, you have to 'accept' the retune when prompted. The new freesat channels and services will then appear in the on-screen programme guide.[/quote]

Sounds good [:D]

Thank you

Goodee.  All I need now is Motors and I can dump the Sky box when it finally gives up the ghost.  I see there's a Samsung Freesat box coming up on Amazon's Black Friday deals later today (500 gb hard drive) too.  Great to have a 5+1 coming as it so often clashes with something else I want to see.

Thanks Sam.
