Got a new TV which has a built in satellite tuner. Good news in that
it will reduce STB clutter. Although I mainly used FreeView - FTA
satellite just for playing with, as I have a 1 metre dish and
rotator.

TV gives me the choice of FreeSat or 'other'. 'Other' allows as many
sats as I want and controls the dish. But unlike the old STB, a very
limited EPG.

So tried FreeSat. Which complains about postcode. Googling says this
comes from Eutelsat 28E, but the progs from Astra 28E

The 'other' list on the new TV gives all the Astras, and several
Eutelsat, but no Eutelsat 28. Set the dish motor to Astra 28, and
that shows 100/100%





About the one thing I did quite often use satellite for was to watch
regional opt outs from BBC and ITV Scotland.


In which case I suspect you get on better with the 'Other' option.


Yup - there doesn't seem to be much on FreeSat I can't get from
FreeView anyway.


It's the only way I can watch BBC Scotland, here in Surrey



Haven't you 'integrated' yet then ? :-)


Intergrated what?
