Ok, technically that tweet doesn't say that's the date for Freesat, but it does say it's coming to it.

Legendkiller2k posted Freesat Ch156 on a VM related thread. I've not seen it anywhere else, but they have sources given their old job so I'm not going to dispute that Freesat number.

There's a gap of one space between PBS America and Dave and Freesat EPG rules have "associated channels" element to their rules as far as I recall, so this is entirely plausible.
