    It seems Channel 4 have signed up for space on 1N "for HD channels" so we should be seeing some new HD stuff from them soon for free, probably Film 4 HD, More 4 HD and in time E4 HD. It's also widely accepted that Channel 5 will also move onto 1N and we will see Channel 5, 5* and 5 USA FTA soon with a possibility of Channel 5 HD as well. The satellite is over half way on it's journey to 28.2E and SES Astra say there will be broadcasts coming from 1N by the end of the month. It will be very interesting to see what launches for free on 1N between now and Christmas. All in all, it's a good time for UK and Irish FTA viewers. :)

    Quick question, I have a FTA Freesat setup, bar tuning in new freqs, is there anything else i need to do?

    If it's a Freesat branded box, you don't have to do anything, they add new channels themselves. If it's just a standard FTA receiver, all you'll need are the frequencies in the sticky thread at the top of the forum. It will have all the channels frequencies for all the worthwhile FTA channels available.
