    I assume you are NOT asking about free channels like BBC & ITV.

    I am pretty sure that you can't do what you are asking, but if you could, it would be against forum rules to discuss it.

    the tv you have has a "freesat" receiver inside, so only fta is available.. the cam slot(if the tv has one) is for free view via an aerial.

    The cam slot - which this TV does have - is for any CI cam which will clear any encrypted channel on any satellite, IF you have a working emu or valid card.

    But, I repeat what I said earlier, it is impossible to give a full answer to the original question without breaking forum rules.

    just incase nobody has noticed he is trying to get astra 1
    astra 1 that is located at 19.2 east
    freesat is astra 2 at 28.2 east

    and freesat is exactly what it says freesat only it wont tune in any scrambled channels
    a little tip to get more channels out of your freesat box go in to the menus and go to the tuneing menus and where it says network search change it to enable then scan
    on a normal scan you will get 140 chanels approx
    but on a network scan you will get over 360 channels

    The Panasonic freesat TVs can get any scrambled channels with the right cam or cam+card.

    I have a Dragon cam and sky card in my pany to watch C4 HD.

    So you can watch encrypted channels.

    Dont think it works with a sky HD sub, but would be interseting if some

    one could try it

    I was Looking at the first post m8 ? As for the [ panasonic Z81 tv ] Looks good with the right cam in the slot

    Must be the best TV On the market [ With a built in sat receiver ] Think it is the only ONE

    The Tuner is slow [ But it has the lot ]

    Correct m8 [IRTE ] Made them ?? Basically the power comes from the receiver to move the Dish ?? Mines have been set up on the Dreambox [ Basically all sats have been stored , just click the remote controll to the sat you want ] The ones you have stored in the memory ?? Simple and easy to Use[ Only thing that is wrong with them ] ?? Only takes a 1 Metre Dish ?? But you can tweek the dish[ Hor@ Ver ] Via Remote control


    Shame they do not make them Anymore !
