FreeSat
FreeSat is the new digital satellite service from 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 the BBC & ITV High Definition (HD) channels. The service also offers a 7-day programme guide. Please see below for a selection of channels offered.
BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Channel 4, More4, E4, Film4, Bubble Hits (music), Vault (music), the BBC & ITV HD channels (receiver specific) and a selection of the main UK radio channels.
At present, there are still more channels on offer via the SKY 'freesat' service (using a SKY digibox) with still no need for a viewing card, and the SKY service also offers more radio channels. This is also true of installations using any other non-Freesat digital satellite receiver. However, whilst still in it's infancy, Freesat has emerged as a serious 'other' option and is likely to improve over time.
Both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) Freesat boxes are available.
