Please not another shopping channel. When I think back to the good old days of Freeview!
Seriously thinking of switching to Freesat. Can you get dual-tuner PVR's for Freesat? Does Freesat have HD?

Users of radio microphones should note that the only licence-free frequencies now are channel 70 (863 - 865 Mhz). You can run up to 4 (or possibly 8) microphones simultaneously in this range. If you are thinking of buying a radio mic check that it operates in this range.
There are lots of "bargains" on ebay that on closer inspection are no longer legal.
You wouldn't want 4G breaking through during a performance!

I could never understand why the BBC wanted to set-up local radio stations. Did anyone ever listen to them? The only time I ever did was the day after the hurricane in 1987 when civilization all-most stopped! Here in the South East three local stations seem to have combined into one. Presumably to save money and boost listener figures.
Back in the day (1970s) I welcomed the start of independent local radio. Used to listen to Capital and later on to Kiss and various other niche music stations.
But they all got taken over by the suits. And now they all sound the same - actually probably are the same.
So for music I now use the internet. Even have an internet radio in the kitchen!
On the other hand, Radio 4 remains probably the best speech radio station in the world - by far.
Only listen to FM in the car.
