Sounds really ... um ... sexy? I reckon you're right about the marketing. No wonder the public is confused! (smile.)

Well all my guess would be its just a marketing ploy.
The box probably looks a bit more sexy, (if you can get sexy boxes) colour scheme bright and attractive, I think all the thing does out of the box over and above freeview right now is HD.

Yes I agree with you. I'm confuzzled about this myself. What is it going to do that Sky doesn't already offer, or the current Freeview setup? Can you subscribe to extra premium channels like sport?

BBC /ITV freesat apparently launched today although I've as yet seen no
prices or anything on availability of units, just reference to the fact that it will be available from usual highstreet suppliers soon. Positive is that the 80 channels are anticipated to exend to up to 200 by the end of the year and that all set top boxes will support AD. And I have it from a reliable source that there will be a digital recorder that supports AD also available 
by the end of the year at a lower cost than the portset which to my mind
doesn't count anyway as you can't actually attach a tv to it.

Hi list
Just arrived back in and read the messages from the list concerning sky. Pat and I have had a chat and we have agreed to cancel our sky. this access 
is no good at all.
I understand to-day the bbc have announced there freesat is out so let's
have a change.
all the best to you all and hope we can sort something with this new freesat 
or whatever it is.
I feel very sad with this access thing.
Last Friday I was in Leeds station and had a look at the flat touch screen 
ticket machines.
if only I could see the screen.
be very interested in bbc freesat people's thoughts.
