seems like freesat have left out alot of channels from their service. i would of thought that you'd be able to manually tune these 'missing' channels ? however if not i cant see the point in freesat why would anyone pay for a service that offers less FTA channels on the same satellites as a service that is cheaper to buy out right (if you buy a Sky receiver & minidish yourself from eBay & Amazon) & is also FTA ? seems pointless to me.

btw if you cant align a dish yourself aslong as you put it up yourself, a local installer should only charge you Ã‚Â£30-Ã‚Â£40 to align it for you (any more & their ripping you off).
