Freesat and Comag receiver   
Hi,

I have an 18 month old Comag digital satellite receiver. I set it up using 
an old Sky dish (with new LNB) pointing to Astra 2 (28 East?). Except for 
the EPG can I receive the Freesat channels being promoted right now (not HD 
of course :-) )? All I seem to get right now is a load of regional BBCs and 
ITVs (plus european programmes).

Will it be possible to add the EPG feature via download (off air or 
internet)?

Regards,

John.

If you are seeing European progs it suggests you are on the wrong sat, 
possibly Astra 19E. Maybe the dish has moved?
