Freesat by BBC & ITV Networks

[admin_exported]

I understand that the BBC and ITV are to jointly launch a freeview satalitte service in the spring which will allow some non subscription HD programming to be available, will any TV manufacturers be supporting this service with the decoder in their sets thus requiring only the dish to be connected, and if so would it be worth waiting till they are available to keep the hardware invasion to a minimum. Can anyone shed any light on this launch and predictions for its take up by the general public.

From what I have read I understand that you will need a separate box, and have not heard anybody looking at making a tv with a built in decoder. It could be handy to have though, and save cluttering up my room with boxes!
