Amy Winehouse - Bestival Site Bouncing Back From Heavy Storms

The Bestival site was hit by a "vast storm" earlier this hebdomad but is in just shape, according to fete organiser Rob da Bank.

The three-day event, held at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight, celebrates its fifth birthday this year with performances from My Bloody Valentine, Amy Winehouse, Hot Chip, Aphex Twin and Underworld.

But the festival conservator and DJ has revealed on his blog for NME.com that he and his team had been initially fearful of Bestival 2008's success, due to poor weather on Tuesday September 2nd.

"There was a huge storm last night that raged all night scaring whatsoever crew staying onsite in their tents," he wrote on Wednesday.

"But then the sun came out and we're acquiring sunburnt again.

"With everything from gales to blistering sun forecast for the weekend I've give up on making predictions. I've got shorts and a sou'wester for whatever eventuality."

Da Bank added: "The theme for this year's show is 30,000 Freaks Under The Sea so if it rains the masks, snorkels and shells should come in handy!"

Winehouse is scheduled to headline the festival on Saturday September sixth but after she failed to wrench up for the Rock En Seine event in Paris utmost month - with the organisers later on threatening her with legal action - her appearance at Bestival is less certain.

However, writing on the Bestival website forum, Rob da Bank assured festivalgoers that the Back to Black principal is still expected to perform.

"Regarding Amy, simply, I do not have any more info as of today (September 2nd)," he wrote, "I am in contact with her federal agent and managing director and we'll know what's happening after the weekend."

"If she can't do the gig, rest assured I do have a identical good backup plan. Have we ever let you down?"

Bbc And Itv Team Up For Free Satellite Service

A new joint venture from the BBC and ITV is to provide a free-to-view satellite service for thousands of homes across the UK.

Available to 98 per cent of homes with a satellite dish, Freesat will broadcast 80 digital television and radio channels with up to 200 on offer by the end of the year.

Though Freesat users will have to pay a one-off charge for the service - covering a satellite dish, set-top box and an installation fee - there will be no monthly subscription charge.

The service will also be available to homes that are currently unable to receive Freeview TV.

Emma Scott from Freesat told BBC Radio 5Live: "It's got 98 per cent coverage across the UK and it's only homes that really don't have a clear line of sight to the satellite that can't get it, or certain listed buildings.

"But unlike Freeview you can receive Freesat across the country, which means that in those areas that at the moment can't get access to free digital television this is the first time that you can get free digital TV."

Freesat also hopes that its service - which provides HD programming from the BBC and ITV - will encourage more Britons to take advantage of high-definition programme.

An estimated ten million homes have an HD-ready television but do not currently use an HD receiver of subscription service.

Michael Grade, ITV's executive chairman, said the launch of Freesat was "the final piece in the digital jigsaw".

"We will launch our HD service with an unrivalled line up of premium football including the FA Cup, England internationals and Uefa Champions League from next season," he added.
