We get two hundred and forty channels and I don't really want any of them but still, it is free, the nice people assured me ... and what kind of incomparable titmonkey markets a

All I wanted was BBCs One through Four, and maybe E4 for the Friends reruns...

YOUR ICON ORDERED ITS WHISKY ON THE ROCKS.

Not impressed.

No Chinese news-channels or Turkish MTV-clones?

[titanic_days]

Oh I do hope so :D

Chinese news? At some point you should get CCTV-9.

Look at this list; you ought to eventually get every channel marked "Free-to-air". Technically there's no reason why you can't pick every free-to-air channel up with your Freesat kit, it's just that they're not available directly through the EPG, and Freesat "adding channels" really consists of Freesat showing more of what's available out there. You can always get CCTV-9, or any other free-to-air channel, by manually tuning it yourself.

Have fun!

Stupid rights issues.
