For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have freesat but never bother with any of the 300plus channels. I have just tried the channels you have given 302,303,304,305, and I am being told they are all invalid channel numbers. Just checked on computer and apparently nine channels on freesat have been taken away this week -no reason given yet.
Scorpiojo has provided the answer. The relevant chnnels have been withdrawn from the Freesat line-up.
Freesat is rather odd though, in that it only shows a subset of all the 'free-to-air' channels which are transmitted from the Astra satellites at 28.2°E. (All you get, in return for not being able to receive all of the FTA channels, is Freesat's Electronic Program Guide). A generic satellite receiver (i.e. one that doesn't carry the 'Freesat' branding) can still receive the channels which are no longer available via Freesat.
However it's possible to add 'non-Freesat' channels onto a Freesat TV (or set-top box) by using the 'manual tuning' option. If you need instructions, please provide the exact make and model number of your Freesat TV (from the back of the set).
