Freesat is a subscription free television and radio service. It is jointly owned by the BBC and ITV. To acquire Freesat you need a satellite dish and a set-top box. Both of these can be ordered at their informative website.
It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.
who is the lady in the freesat advert

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.

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.
yes on itv and itv HD at 7.30 and 8.30pm.
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.
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.
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.
