Wrong. Freeview is 12 channels on eithier via the saterllite or the
terrestial areial.

Try not confuse the goods, with the method of them being transported.

This is where the saterlite wins hands down. Everyone has sky above them.

Sorry, to me a small settop antenna wins over needing to have something
installed and cabled to the TV.

I can carry the freeview TV anywhere in the house and give it power and
have HD pictures. Cant do that with a satellite.

Although not everyone has a clear path to the satellite bearing and
elevation.

And what about the set top box..?

I have not seen Small LCD TV's with built in Freeview

There are no available tvs with a satillite reciver in them, so anyone
wanting to recieve that has to have a settop in anycase.

> I have not seen Small LCD TV's with built in Freeview

samsung LA22B450 is a 22" with it in it. THere are plenty of tiny ones
with the older mpeg2 dvb-t recievers in them, as h264 playback off
memory devices is becoming more expected I would say that well before
analog switch off there will be tiny 15" or so ones that have the needed
tuner in them.

Not seen any yet with diversity reception in them which is a shame. Only
seen a handful of car tuners that were mpeg2 only that do it.

Correct, as they are not certified, but there are many available with
dvb-t tuners in them.
