Top TV with a Dish… But It’s Not From Sky!

A new entry in the digital television universe is the recently launched reesat. This unique service is a joint venture of the BBC and ITV, and it promises to bring true digital quality television to viewers throughout the United Kingdom - without the need to pay a Sky subscription!  You do however, still need a dish.

With Freesat, TV viewers who already own a Mini Dish can simply purchase a new Freesat receiver and instantly receive all those free digital channels. Those viewers who are looking for the ultimate television experience can purchase a new Freesat HD receiver to receive the best of digital television at no additional charge. All it takes to get those great digital channels for free is a high definition television and a Freesat HD receiver.

With more than 80 high quality channels available, the new Freesat represents a real alternative to programs such as the Sky system. As a mater of fact Freesat service has a number of important advantages over its competition, including of course all that free programming. Unlike Freesat, the Sky system does not make all that great HD programming available at no cost. It is important for consumers and television viewers not to confuse the new Freesat with the freesat systems available from Sky. Unlike those Sky systems, the new Freesat system provides plenty of high quality HD programming for free.

In addition, Freesat features many more channels, many of them in HD, as well as excellent coverage for the entire country. With a coverage area reaching 90 to 95% of the country, the new BBC Freesat service is an excellent choice for those areas with poor television reception.  Britain’s most popular commercial channel, ITV1, is available in HD on FreeSat but not via Sky - now there’s a reason to use FreeSat!

Another important advantage of the new Freesat service over Sky and other competitors is the fact that it requires only a one off payment, with no ongoing subscription fees needed. Anyone who has ever subscribed to a pay TV service understands how expensive these services can become, making this one off payment model an excellent cost saving benefit. The Freesat service requires no subscription fee, no contract and no ongoing commitment of money.

The new Freesat service makes it easy to find something to watch no matter what the time of day or night. The service includes a convenient and easy to use on screen program guide viewers can use to see a seven day program guide. With so many channels to choose from, this handy seven day programming guide makes it easy to find your favourite programs no matter when they are played.
