| Free sat lets you experience the brilliance of subscription-free
high definition TV and much, much more. Discover what’s on offer
and how to get it – you’ll soon be putting your feet up and enjoying
a wealth of entertainment.
What is freesat?
freesat is a brand new digital service offering a world of TV,
radio, interactive TV, and high definition programmes from the
BBC and ITV (launches from middle of May), with no contract, no
subscription - just a one-off payment.
There's a huge choice of entertainment with freesat including
movies, music, sport, lifestyle, children's, shopping, news and
more. With over 80 channels available, including your favourite
radio stations, you’ll never be bored. Finding what you want is
easy too, thanks to the electronic programme guide.
The brilliance of HD
If you've got an HD Ready TV, take advantage of the high definition
content on offer. With four times more detail than normal TV,
deeper and richer more vivid colours, plus atmospheric surround
sound, all you need is an HDMI cable to enjoy the brilliance of
HD.
Even if you haven’t upgraded to an HD Ready TV yet, there’s an
abundance of standard definition channels to enjoy.
Get interactive
Want to catch up with the news headlines, get an update on the
weather, or find out if your team has won? By pressing the red
button on your freesat remote, you can get the information you
want through easy-to-use menus. Or how about switching stages
at music festivals, or tables at snooker tournaments? Interactive
TV is as fun as it is informative!
Can I receive freesat where I live?
With freesat being broadcast via satellite, it's available to
almost every household in the UK.
What equipment do I need?
To receive freesat you’ll need:
1. A freesat digital receiver box or a TV with an integrated receiver
2. A satellite dish installed and connected to the receiver
Do you already have a satellite dish?
Yes - It may be possible for you to receive freesat with your
current dish.
No - We recommend that your dish is supplied and installed by
a qualified satellite installer. This can be arranged when you
purchase your freesat receiver in store.
What about installation?
We offer a range of installation options, starting at £80 for
a standard installation. This includes:
• A satellite dish and external components
• Fixing the dish to a suitable outer wall, up to 10 metres above
ground level
• Up to 15m of cabling to supply one room of your household
• Cable ties and clips to neatly run the cabling from the dish
to the entry point
• Connection of one freesat receiver to the dish
• Signal strength and functional check of dish and freesat receiver
• Tuning and demonstration of freesat receiver
Other options are available, such as connection to a freesat receiver
with a built-in recorder or connection to more than one room.
