Hi Peter, Fair enough, if that's what they're saying, all I know is that when we got Freesat we paid £150 or thereabouts and got our dish plus settop box and were able to receive the free to air channels including the ones with AD, we since went on to the very basic sky package although are about to give that up as we're in rented accommodation and not sure how long we'll be here so not willing to pay the cost to get new dish installed only to have to leave it here when we go. Anyway just sharing my experience!

Shortly after that, I signed up for a package.
