Freesat is a digital satellite service from both the BBC & ITV. It is an alternative to SKY and is subscription free. All the main channels are offered and with the right receiver & TV, you can also access some high-definition channels. The service also offers a useful 8-day channel guide. Please see below for a selection of channels offered.

BBC1, BBC2, BBC4, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Channel 4, More4, E4, Film4, Bubble Hits (music), Vault (music), Sky News, FreeSports along with the BBC channels, ITV1 and Channel 5 also available in high-definition and a selection of the main UK radio channels. Other non-Freesat platform channels can also be added if they are available 'free to air' from the Astra 2 (28.2° east) satellite.

To view the full list of available channels, click here. One thing to be aware of is that the 'catch up' services like BBC iPlayer are not available. It may be possible to circumvent this with the use of a VPN but this is not something we assist with.

A high-definition Freesat receiver is available along with PVR (personal video recorder) versions which allows you to record one channel whilst watching another. Recordings are stored on a hard-drive on the PVR ready for playback at a convenient time. Ideally, a PVR like this requires 2 cables to be run from the satellite dish.

The items below are non-recording receivers. One is high-definition (1080p) and the other is 4K. This receiver is capable of displaying images in 4 x greater detail than 'normal' high-definition. Once the recording versions, available from Amazon UK & Currys/PC World, can be delivered to France, they will be listed on this page. 


You can view these products and even order them directly (with delivery to France) from Amazon UK by clicking below :

​Please be aware though that Freesat is NOT the same as Freeview in the UK. Your Freeview box will not receive UK TV here in France and Freesat does not carry exactly the same suite of channels. ​

Happy People

You did a brilliant job on our system- no trying to sell us a "system" in fact you were extra honest on making our system work and I was more than happy to get a new dish so I knew we would have tv - would recommend you anytime
