We heard recently that freesat had managed 200,000 units sold in its first 8 months. I was reading some history of ONdigital and it appears they only managed 110,000 subscribers in their first 6 months. They then went on to have over 1million subscribers after 3 years.
The 200,000 figure sounded bad to me until I made that comparison. Freesat is selling faster than the much advertised first DTT service. That has to be very encouraging considering they managed that with out even a fraction of the advertising ONdigital had.
I wonder when/if freesat will get into the million units sold? If they start advertising now and improve the service then user numbers could explode.
Its all very encouraging.....lets just hope ITV HD dont bid 3billion quid for the conference football rights
