Freesat is a satellite service with no contract or subscription and therefore no monthly bills, and provides you with an array of channels for free via your satellite dish. In order to receive Freesat you will require a satellite dish and either a Freesat box or an integrated Freesat TV. There is also a freesat recordable box available so you can record all your favourite programs. Freesat is a great alternative option to Freeview, especially in areas where terrestrial reception via a conventional aerial is restricted by adjacent buildings or trees etc.
