FreeSat

FreeSat was launched on the 6th May 2008 and is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV. The FreeSat service provides a large number of digital TV and Radio channels that can be received free of charge, as there are no setup or monthly subscription charges.

FreeSat is one of the leading providers of free digital TV programs in the UK with over 140 TV, Radio and Interactive channels, all totally free.

Freesat channels are automatically updated when any new Radio, TV,
or Interactive channels, and services, become available.

In order to receive FreeSat programs you will need a FreeSat receiver,
or a TV with FreeSat built, and a dish to receive the FreeSat signal.

Also available is a FreeSat digital TV recorder, also know as a PVR, which gives you all the benefits of the FreeSat receiver, plus the ability to record, playback, pause and rewind live TV.

FreeSat receivers, and TV's with builtin FreeSat, are available at retail stores, specialist providers, and through online suppliers.

Your FreeSat receiver supplier will also arrange to install a dish for you.
If you have a Sky dish this can be used to receive the FreeSat signal.

As well as the best of free digital TV, you can also watch programs in HD.
As with the standard FreeSat all FreeSatHD programs are also free, with no setup or monthly subscription charges.

So you get even better viewing at no extra cost, all you need is an HD Ready TV connected to a FreeSatHD digital box, or a TV with FreeSatHD built in.
