Now here’s a story of two halves. Released on freesat’s official website, it seems that the high-definition setup boxes have all sold out and are in short supply. So the service is a hit? Despite anticipation for the canny service still extremely high in the HD Review hub, questions have been raised on numerous blogs. According to some it seems the only reason this has occurred is due to dubious retailers only stocking limited units. Cynics or not, it seems freesat is not without its own aura of controversy/publicity.
