About this deal
We would still suggest you go Freeview if you can get a decent signal, but Freesat is your best free-to-watch option if you can’t. I work with networks as a day job and have managed to connect other devices to my wireless network just fine, so at this point I’m blaming the freesat box and not my typing abilities on a remote.
Restart live TV: Live restart (Watch from Start) is broadband speed dependent and available on certain BBC channels only. No problem – simply record the programmes you’ve been looking forward to and they’ll be there waiting for you when you’re ready. Freesat has an amazing range of 100+ TV and radio channels, including 25 in HD - all without any subscription fees or monthly TV bills! A new menu will be displayed with Reset PIN Code as one of the options, highlight this option and press OK.The system works by beaming the best of TV into your living room from space – which means you can say goodbye to questionable reception on your digital TV or aerial issues that affect your viewing quality as Freesat offers 100% UK channel coverage 2.
Some optional On Demand content or services (such as Netflix) may cost extra and require paid subscription. YouView: A “hybrid” service that combines over-the-air Freeview channels, and catch-up TV streamed to you via your broadband connection.
Some YouView boxes also offer additional pay-per-view channels and programmes, but with many Freeview boxes also offering catch-up TV these days (with Freeview Play), the two services have become almost identical. Maybe you’ve been using Freesat for years, maybe you’re new to Freesat and are wondering which set top box to get - either way, are you thinking it’s time to upgrade your TV set-up?
