Freesat over Freeview? Absolutely!

Since the launch of Freesat, about 6 years ago, the change in the industry has been

seismic! Unquestionably, Freesat has done a remarkable job of becoming a viable

Freeview alternative. Giving the once abandoned satellite dishes a rejuvenating comeback,

Freesat positions itself as a free-to-air offering and opens a new page to the broadcasting

world that is ever changing.

One of the best services offered by Freesat is Freetime, which has been on set-top boxes

for the last 2 years. This connected service, allows users to catch up on shows that they

have missed, through the programme guide, was at first only for Freesat users; something

like a next generation version of the service. However, all this changed quickly and it is

soon expected to go beyond the set-top boxes and expand the service. With an iOS app,

which is being offered by Freesat and can be used by practically everybody, you can watch

catch-up TV and manage the recordings of your Freetime box, on your iPad, iPhone,

while out and about! The app has already been downloaded more than 200,000 times so

far. Only during the last quarter, it has been downloaded 70,000 times!

According to stats and figures, free TV is experiencing its most compelling and vibrant

times, with TV fans switching from pay TV to Freetime service, and turn their back at

costly contracts that go along with pay TV. Indicatively, only during the last 3 months, the

subscriptions-free Freesat has welcomed another 18,000 new customers, reaching the

profound 1.84million users across Britain, occupying the 4th place overall, following

Freeview, Sky, and Virgin Media.

Why Choose Freesat over Freeview?

For a major fourfold of reasons:

1. If you already have a dish and want to use it *

2. Because you can get free-to-watch channels not available on Freeview. You can

find a table with the channels offered by Freesat (that you can’t find at Freeview)

and everything else you need to know here: http://www.ukfree.tv/allchannels.php

3. If you are not fully satisfied with the quality of your favourite Freeview channels

and you want better picture and clarity. You can expect a much more enhanced

viewing experience from Freesat!

4. The bandwidth of Freeview is rather limited, as opposed to satellite services. Also,

it deals with the same problems as cable TV and DAB, in Britain. Meaning, viewers

tend to prefer to be able to watch 100 badly-rendered channels than 85 channels

delivering excellent quality. Let’s face it…bandwidth means more money…

*Alternatively, digital aerials also get the job done, so if you don’t have a dish, no worries!

If you are considering installing Freesat, it is best to address the experts. Aerial Services is

your one-way road, if you seek for professionals that specialise in aerial services and
