I have just done a google to try and find out what channels the basic

£17 and upwards per month, but I can't seem to find anything about the
channel info. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction
before my wife makes a complete balls up of communications in this house?

Note this is not the same thing as FreeSat which offers a similar
lineoup but also some HD programming:

Curious.

Out of interest, has anyone any experience of Freesat and Freesat from
Sky?, I'd be curious (in passing only) as to the quality difference. I
know from my experience with Sky, that the quality of broadcasts often
leaves a lot to be desired (apparantly due to limited bandwidths, etc).

This might be a useful decision point for someone investigating free
satellite broadcasting.
