- "Freeview satellite broadcasts have declined in quality since the service launched as TV1 is now being broadcast many times to provide region specific adverts, this reduces the bandwidth available to other channels that transponder."
This seems like a reasonable explanation, but it sure is a waste of spectrum in doing so. Also, at almost any given time the three (or so) Chinese channels broadcasting on Freeview|HD have the same CCTV broadcast on, that is also a waste of spectrum (in my opinion), why not just have one CCTV channel? At least put something unique on!
