That sounds a bit short-sighted. They are automatically restricting their potential audience by not being on freeview, surely?
Or maybe, Hochanda nipped in and swiped the only immediately available freeview channel?

It's cheaper to be on satellite than Freeview - so maybe seeing how it goes first.

If it's on freeview HD 254 (I have a freeview TV) then why do I also need a 2Mbps internet connection to watch it (mine is only 1/10 that speed)?

I think they have done the same as Win Cash Live did and bought airtime on Showcase TV. This channel is on Sky and Freesat but only available on freeview via compatible internet connected devices. On freeview Showcase is a streamed service broadcast over the internet rather than over the air.
You need internet because it's streamed to you via the net rather than aerial.
When I had 2Mbps internet I thought it was slow...1/10 would be like going back to dial up! LOL Is that the best your area has?

Yes, I am 6 miles from exchange, even though in big city!
Tonight I can't even get on Facebook, server times out.
