CBS coming to freesat today?

Remastered Star Trek as CBS comes to Freesat : Tech Digest

According to the above website, it is today that CBS channels come.

I thought there would be more talk of this.

I am looking forward to the remastered star trek, and the missus is looking forward to dynasty. Sad, but true.

Apparently Zone Horror is staying as it is for now but with some decent new shows added.

Re: CBS coming to freesat today?

Just watching CBS Action now.

All is well, and the remastered star trek looks very good.

Unfortunately this channel has the biggest most distracting DOG I have ever seen.

I'm well known mate on another forum for giving my views on DOGS
[ Mike01 ]

DOGS don't really bother me as I try to get engrossed in the action.
Depending on their transparency they can annnoy you.If you want
to archive recordings, some may feel its inconvenient.

You just reminded me that I didn't include DOGS in my first post
- but we will have to see If STV/ITV come up with a solution,
before anyone asks if there should be one, etc.

I won't keep going on about STV in your thread mate.
Glad you like the remastered Star Trek. I don't know if
you will remember the Lost In Space series, way back
I was a fan of it. lol

Mike

Oh I loved lost in space! Channel 4 used to show it at 12pm every sunday after the waltons. Great programme.

I don't normally moan about DOGs, but this one is huge, bright and, to top it off, they have put a seperate DOG in the other corner saying "premiere" all the way through the show.

The digital spy crew are apparantly unimpressed because they have zoomed the 4:3 picture and cut off the top and bottom to make it 16:9.

You can either do a manual freesat scan now or wait for the auto one next time you boot. If you have the latest firmware (v11) on a hdr it won't affect your schedules. Not sure about non humax boxes.

Re: CBS coming to freesat today?

I am really enjoying the channels so far. Star Trek remastered pilot episode today was great and the missus is well happy with Dynasty from the beginning.

The DOG is terrible though. Never seen one this bad and to add insult to injury they add a second DOG saying “New” or “Premiere” on certain programs. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the word “new” in the corner of the screen on an episode of dynasty made in 1981!

They definitely should have launched an HD channel. I don’t know what content they have but we need someone like that to take a risk with FTA HD.
