Sat installers who put in FTA systems have hated this for years, especially when they have to explain to some of their customers why it is that all the channels they don't get are still listed. They are loving Freesat for this reason. The EPG by definition only includes channels you can actually watch.
By that reason I could complain to Virgin about their EPG, which does much the same for M (i.e Free-to-view) package holders.

Looking round, I see that installation for a dish and quad-LNB will cost around £100 where I live. That too much to have a dish installed and aligned, a couple of wires put to a node in the bedroom, and the quad-LNB installed?
