yeti:Any help and advice appreciated I do my best to give useful help and advice. Providing the correct spelling allows people to search for the terms more effectively*. Many people are ignorant of the correct spelling of technical terms which they are not using daily. That's understandable but...

SteveR750:My impression is that they are essentially the same in terms of programme and channel availability Many channels are common to both platforms but several are not. Look at the web sites that list the channels and compare them. Freesat has many more shopping- and ÿreligion channels. I...

tinytots:I wont (sic) a custom made one.ÿSatcure dont (sic) make them anymore. ÿSatCure don't make what any more? We supply coaxial cable, cut to length, with or without 'F' or TV plugs fitted. We supply WF100 in six different colours including yellow, red and green. tinytots:ÿNow i (sic)...
