FREESAT & SKY TV

Freesat is free to air satellite TV that offers a very similar range of channels to Freeview. It is received via a satellite dish just as Sky is, however, there is no need for any subscription to watch it. It is particular beneficial in areas where there is a poor Freeview signal causing your TV picture to freeze or breakup. All that is required is a Freesat receiver box and a Freesat satellite dish, which is exactly the same as the Sky dish.  The dish can be fitted for £90; this includes the dish and cabling to your box.  and a Freesat receiver. 

The satellite dishes & LNB receivers we use are the same as for Sky installations.  This is because they are pointing to the same group of satellites in geostationary orbit. As Freesat engineers we can also carry out Freesat repairs if there is an issue with your TV signal and you are either not receiving all or some of your television programmes.

All of our Freesat Installations come with a full 3-year guarantee. We do not provide the Freesat Receiver, but we do provide everything else so that all you will need to do is connect your receiver to the coax cable and it will work. We can do a full Freesat dish installation with one or more cables to multiple rooms in a property. We will tune in and set up your Freesat receiver.

A basic Freesat High Definition (HD) box will cost from £45.  With this you will be able to watch over 200 channels . If you want to be able to watch catch up TV on a smart box, then range from £80 to £250.  Boxes that can record and have smart features (Catch up TV via an internet connection and interactive TV guide that allows you to go back over the last 7 days viewing to watch programmes that you may have missed as catch-up TV) start from around £180.

If you are after a more discreet installation, then in many cases we can do that. We are used to discreetly running coax cable in ways to make it less visible. Feel free to ask us.

Have you been refused an install by Sky TV due to non-standard installation, listed building, chimney installation?  Do you want the cable hidden or have been refused installation due to height, access restrictions.  We can pre-install your sky dish and cables if you have specific requirements.  We are cheaper than Sky too if you need a new dish re-located following a house move.  We are experienced in Sky HD, multi-room and Sky Q.  We can also mount your Sky Glass TV.  See our TV mounting page for further details.
