I do not know either, I am trying to find out as well
a satalite dish (a sky dish would work), a freesat set top box or tv with built in freesat and a hd ready tv
Not right now
Freesat is available to 98% of the population. It also has lots of HD Channels and is very good quality.
no it is only a freesat recorder by satellite not an aerial
No, most freesat boxes have an analogue video and audio output in the form of a scart connector or phono connectors. These will connect to almost any television that has AV inputs. Freesat offers a selection of subscription free channels as standard definition with a rather smaller selection of HD channels for UK viewers. Freesat receivers are sold as standard definition or HD Freesat. Even the HD receivers normally have an anlogue output although it will only deliver SD signals. HD signals will be down converted to use the analogue outputs. Exact features vary from one model to another so it's important to check the specifications before buying. To take advantage of the HD quality, the HDMI signal connector needs to be used and of course, the television also needs to be an HD television with HDMI inputs.
Freesat installation allows you to self-install a satellite receiver to your TV to get access to free satellite TV channels. These channels include a variety of HD channels.
They no longer make HD 'ready' TV's. HD ready meant that there was no tuner in the TV. With the digital changeover they all have the HD tuner built in. If you have cable or satellite you will still need HD service to get an HD picture.
Yes, just use a HD DVR with an internal tuner.
Because Freesat is done through satellite, any location in the UK should be able to receive it. All that is required is a satellite dish and an HD digital box.
The clue is in the name Free SAT. Freesat has no fees apart from the purchase of a satellite dish and a tuner or SAT-ready TV. There are, however, some pay-for channels (eg Sky) but most are free.
Freesat is a TV service that is available in select areas in Europe. Freesat does not currently offer any pay per view channels, though it is something they are considering. There are currently five HD channels, and over 150 free tv and radio channels.
sadly no only an FM tuner
