As far as I understand it, you will be able to get both Freesat and Saorsat
through a single box or TV. I don't know whether the forthcoming Panasonic TVs
that have a satellite encoder in them will have that capability though. I'll
ask Panasonic. And if they do, I don't know whether they will have a combined
EPG. But you will need a more expensive satellite dish with two LNB's
(receivers) because Freesat and Saorsat will be on different satellites.
