Freesat Boxes - A List of Freesat Receivers
Our list of Freesat satellite TV receiver boxes available in the UK, including HD receivers and hard-disc recorders
Freesat is a digital TV service that uses a satellite dish. For the basics on what Freesat has to offer, see our Freesat Explained section.
To get Freesat, you will need a satellite dish outside your house pointing at the appropriate satellite. You'll also need a Freesat receiver. A small number of TV sets have Freesat built-in, but for most people, it'll be a case of buying a Freesat box.
