Freesat) nearly two hundred the last time I looked.
The main BBC and commercial channels are obliged to be carried by terrestrial, satellite and cable systems.
You then have the odd situation that those free main channels are provided alongside the paid for content on Sky or Virgin Media.
Whether subscribers think that, by paying for this convenience, they are getting a good deal, I don't know.
Because we rely on the TV so much I bought a new one a couple of years ago with an integrated satellite system.
I watched Bloomberg the other evening. Didn't understand a word.
