Doesn't answer your Q, but most of Freeview is rubbish.
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately we seem to be able to get most of the rubbish channels - but I was hoping that (in order to avoid what might turn out to be a costly aerial upgrade (because it is mounted in the loft rather than - as recommended - on the rooftop), we might get the 'mainstream' ones plus a couple of extras like UKTV History and CBBC Channel (for Gadget junior) fairly cheaply via satellite sooner than the local digital switchover in 2011 - apart from BBC Four we can't currently get any of those, not even ITV 1/2/3/4 - which the Freeview website says that we should definitely receive.
However, I've just had a reply to my query from Sky which says that they do indeed employ port blocking on port 25 (among others) and so the service is incompatible with my domain server. As far as I am concerned this knocks the TV/Phone/ISP package idea firmly on the head, although I might still consider a TV package at some point.
Thanks for your replies though...
