Satellite

Satellite offers many channels of TV and Radio from all over the world, received via a small dish. It has a much greater capacity than traditional Terrestrial Television, which is delivered via ground based transmitters. There are hundreds of satellites in the sky, delivering information all over the world. We believe satellite is the best way to receive your Television signals especially in areas where Freeview signals are weak or your relay transmitter doesn’t carry all the Freeview Channels.

The two most popular systems in the UK are Freesat and Sky

Freesat

Freesat is the Free To Air Service from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc. Launched in 2008 it currently offers over 170 channels, inc all Regions of BBC and ITV television, Radio and High Definition TV. It currently offers over 20 HD Channels, with more to come.

There is no contract and no monthly subscription for Freesat. Just the initial cost of the receiver, dish and installation. If you have a Sky dish already then this may be able to feed your Freesat Receivers.

This opens up the possibility of running multiple Sky and Freesat boxes from one dish. You may need to change the LNB on your dish, but thats it. No extra amplifiers, switches etc. This makes Freesat the ideal product not only for your main TV but to feed extra rooms, like the childrens bedrooms, with no monthly subcriptions.

We are authorised Freesat installers and retailers. We believe this is an excellent service. High Definition TV from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5 – with more to come, no hidden costs and a great range of channels for all the family.

Freesat also have PVR options. The Freesat Receivers are manufactured by Arris. They come with two satellite tuners. Which allow you to record one channel whilst watching another, or record two channels at the same time. With a Wideband LNB, you can record up to 4 Channels simultaneously. These also allows you to record HD TV, watch Catch Up – iPlayer, ITV X, My5 etc

Freesat have now launched “freetime”.These receivers offer all the additional benefits of Freesat, with improved connectivity – for example ‘On Demand’ Catch Up Services from BBC iPlayer, ITV X, My5, You Tube, Netfilx, Prime Video, BritBox and more. They also offer a seamless ‘Rewind’ of Catch Up over the last 7 days – Simply scroll backward thru the Programme Guide (EPG) & any available programmes can be watched at the press of a button.

Freesat really is excellent value for money with no ongoing costs. It automatically updates with any new Software or Channels – something thats not as seamless with Freeview! Also, it is not affected by the issues associated with 4G/5G Interefence.

We can supply and install Freesat Receivers, Dishes or Add Freesat to your existing satellite system, for any advice or a quote please call or use the Enquiry Form to mail us.
