    Freesat / Freeview?

    Which is it!?!

    Freesat - comes from a satellite in the sky, via a dish on your wall - doesn't matter if you are in Wales, Somerset, Devon, Scotland or even France.

    Freeview - comes from your local transmitter.......

    I am asusming freesat......try here, or google ;)

    Hi

    Freesat has different channels to Freeview. Some channels on Freesat will also be available on Freeview and vice versa, but not all are available on both. Currently only Freesat provides HD but Freeview is also introducing HD, it depends on the quality of your aerial whether you will be able to receive it.

    :)
