loss of chanels

I am getting very disappointed with Freeviews lack of good channels . so much for your great viewing for kiwis . you get rid of ones such as sommet sports , algezera double up on other channels then bang on hour after hour of infomercial shopping. Who wants that ? Why are those with dish tv restricted to less channels ? Some answers would be appreciated ,or do we have have to go back to Sky Tv for decent viewing ?

This is not Freeview's problem. Freeview only provides the platform for broadcasters to transmit their programs and channels. If you want to complain about what's on air then make your complaints to the individual broadcasting companies (TVNZ, Mediaworks, Sky etc) and not Freeview. I do agree though there's too much rubbish and why they ever wanted the +1 channels clogging up the airwaves is beyond me. If everyone started posting their complaints on the broadcasters Facebook pages we might get somewhere.

P.S. AFAIK DishTv receivers are capable of receiving all the channels broadcast on the satellite. If you mean you can't receive the extra channels only on Terrestrial transmission then that is also the broadcasters (who elect not to put them on satellite) problem and not Freeview's.
