The Freesat platform's about to get a very exciting and innovative new channel, with the free-to-air satellite option set to launch a standalone YouTube channel app that'll work without the need for you to screw around with a separate streaming box. Read More >>
Those who said YouView was a great idea but launched way too late, have now been proved dead right. Its backwards EPG and on-demand services aren’t looking too unique any more, as Freesat's just launched exactly the same thing with its new Freetime service, which lets you scroll back in time and stream shows from TV catch-up services like BBC iPlayer.

If you get your telly through the free part of the satellite spectrum, there'll be a bit more content on offer when you get home today -- thanks to five new channels from Channel 5 joining the Freesat listings. Read More >>
Missed that important, amazing programme on Channel 5 you've been looking forward to? No, probably not. But if it ever does show anything decent, and you miss it, Channel 5+1 will launch this December, on Freeview, Freesat and Sky. [Guardian] Read More >>
