The shopping channels, (EG. QVC, Price-Drop TV, TV Shop, Pitch TV etc.)
seem to get away with 60 minutes of adverts per hour.

Did you make up the Channel 6 logo?
If you did well done, except there are only 5 colours and not six in your logo.
Although the background fades from white to cyan, so I guess you have millions of different shades.
Will they have a different logo for each region, as ITV oince did?

I've had a look at Zattoo. (http://zattoo.com)
You can view the channels using a web browser or their application Zattoo 4.0.5
The only problem is the number of channels.
No BBC channels.
No ITV channels except the non ITV channel 3 channels of STV and UTV.
No Channel 4 but there is S4C.
No Channel 5.

The channels are; (In English unless other language in brackets)
S4C (Welsh)
Community Channel
Information TV
Al Jazeera
LA CHAINE D'INFORMATION DE LANGUE (Arabic)
Bloomberg UK
DW-TV Deutsche Welle (English and German)

Freesat setup with a Welsh postcode:
102 = BBC2 Wales
104 = S4C
If Freesat is not setup with a Welsh postcode then:
971 = BBC2 Wales
120 = S4C

This transmitter has had digital Freeview since 2009.
Some won't get it until 2013.
I'm sure there are a few people who think their transmitter is worse.

I see that Freeview HD is 720 lines per frame.
How many lines with standard definition?
I know it varies from channel to channel,
but is there a maximum and minimum Freeview SD number of lines.
Nice to also know which channels have the highest SD quality and which ones don't.

Mike, thank you for your reply.
The minute I posted my question I realised I said 720 when I meant 1080 for HD.
(They where talking about HD with 720 lines before using 1080)
So BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel4 and Channel5 SD use 720 by 576 (576 lines)
and the other channels can be from '706 x 544' to '720 x 576'.

My Sky and non Sky receivers are working.
Sounds like you have a problem with your dish or Sky box.
Press 'Services', 4 (System setup), 6 (Signal test)
If signal level is zero or low, could be disk aerial lead unplugged or break in the wire.
More likely is the dish has moved due to wind, rain or lose fixing screws.
If signal level is zero and you know somebody else that has a satellite receiver, (Sky, Freesat or any other type)
see if their receiver works with your dish.
If his receiver doesn't work in your home, then your dish is out of line, you have a break in the dish cable
or you have a fault with the LNB on the dish.
If his receiver dose work then you have a fauld with your Sky box.
