freesat is a brand new digital satellite TV service from the BBC and ITV, with over 80 great TV and radio channels, plus subscription-free HD programming from the BBC (at launch) and ITV (soon after). And freesat will bring you more channels each month, so its line-up will just get better and better.
As well as the best of free digital TV, you can also watch drama, natural history, sport and more in breathtaking HD. With freesat, HD programmes are subscription-free, so you get even better viewing at no extra cost.
Getting freesat is simple. You can buy freesat in-store or online at Argos, Comet, Currys, John Lewis and some independent retailers. After a one-off payment, it's free. No subscription, no contract, ever. Just a one-off payment, then nothing more to pay.
You will need a freesat digital box and a fully installed satellite dish. Digital boxes are available from around £50 with HD digital boxes from around £120. Standard installation costs from around £80.
To watch TV in HD you will need a freesat HD digital box connected to an HD Ready TV or TV with freesat HD built in (available after launch). Visit your local freesat approved retailer for more information and to see freesat for yourself.
