also not everyone can have sky. so freeview is the only other way to watch TV.

I'm fairly sure you can do a manual scan and store them under 'Other Channels', or some similar heading.

Yes you can,but i dont know if all freesat boxes have this option,

I thought all digiboxes could search manually, whether satellite or terrestrial. All my Freeview equipment will, even though there's hardly any need for it.

For free channels, why not?

By your logic sky viewers should not get the benefit of watching BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 etc through their sky system because they 'belong' to freeview.

Freeview is all part of the licence fee so we all contribute even if sky viewers never use the freeview we are still paying for it !!!!

Yes you might have paid a one-off for your equipment, but that's it, you don't pay anything else at all for all the channels you get, so stop whining about something you are getting for free, and be grateful that you have an option like freeview, and that they have any of the babeshow channels at all!

I have sky, and I pay a substantial amount a month for it, and I personally believe for that, I should be entitled to better viewing than a freeviewer. Why should we have the same channels with the same content when I am paying for it and you aren't?

If it's free, you are entitled to nothing, so stop you complaining and be grateful you have anything at all

And the winner of the most sanctimonious post of the forum is........

Personally, I think Sky subscribers should be nailed to the stake for the funding of any corporation that has Rupert Murdoch at the helm.

No, you're not. You're paying for BBC, surely, same as us. Even if neither of us watch it.

Just another point for the anti-freeview brigade. If you follow the way the channel names have changed from 2008 you will find Bsblue came from Partyland via Glamourchase and originated from sky but BsXtra came from Partygirls (not Bs2 which doesn't exist anymore) which was the original, freeview only, phone-sex channel. However we're not bitter and don't mind sharing with you sky guys

And, before anyone starts throwing their toys out of the pram, that was all tongue-in-cheek (still a valid point though)

why is it you need a freeview card for certain babechannels on freesat And not others?

No Licence fee is collected by the tv licencising on behalf of the tresuery and then the bbc get a chunk of the licence fee used to be they got all of it might change in the future

http://www.astra2d.com/tv.html good page explaining it all

dont get me wrong im not anti freeview in fact would like the channels on freeview from 9pm and have elite and red light and storm on there as well

infact shame sky is run by murdoch as he is destroying media in this country but if its the only way i get to see tits out at ten then its a price worth paying

im just tired of hearing freeviewers get shafted and that sky boys get it all

A s a non-Sky viewer I'm afraid I have to agree with HP. I really can't blame anybody else just because I don't want to pay to get these channels. I am very grateful though when sky viewers post vids from non-Freeview sections and would certainly ask them to continue doing this (particularly when it involves Paige!).
I've just realised I've got an old dish and could probably get Freesat - do any of the BS channels/times which aren't on Freeview appear on Freesat (without the need to get another card)?

SteveHG , just took my Sky viewing card out and checked what babe channels are no longer available to view with out a card , the only babe channels that you can't get are the channels that go encrypted at night , ChatGirl Ch 901 cannot be viewed , RLC/Playboy Ch 916 cannot be viewed or any of the Elite day channels that become encrypted TVX/Red Hot channels at night , all the BS , Elite , RLC , Storm and all the others channels that don't become encrypted at night can be viewed without a viewing card .
This is for a Sky box by the way , so when removing the viewing card it acctually turns it into a Sky free view box .
