Re: Could Quest be coming to Freesat?
It is a spot beam Chris.
Freesat have now made some technical preparations to their EPG data to add Quest to 167 and Quest Red to 169.
The timeshift +1 channels won't be available on Freesat, but the gap suggests that they intend to add them in the future.
Looks to me like Discovery have managed to get a similar deal as UKTV after their carriage dispute to unshackle their free channels from Sky ie the parent channel is allowed to go onto Freesat, but the +1's remain encrypted for now.
Incidentally, 166 is vacant and wasn't used for Quest, which it is assumed will be used for another channel addition...
