Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, to use Freesat you need a satellite dish, but it doesn’t need to be new! Even if it’s a Sky satellite dish or an older model, all you need to do is plug the satellite cables into the back of your Freesat 4K TV Box and you’re good to go.
Don’t have a satellite dish? Head to Getmeviewing.org.uk to find a local satellite dish installer.
Yes, if you’re thinking about moving from Sky TV to Freesat you can use the same satellite dish! The dish you have will affect how many channels you can record at once on your 4K TV Box. Find out more about the different LNB types.
Yep! That’s one of the benefits of satellite TV – so long as you have a satellite dish, you’ll be able to watch Freesat with 100% channel coverage in the UK.
However, if your satellite dish can’t be positioned to face the satellite without obstructions, you might have some trouble. Find out more about Freesat in your area.

1. Over 100 channels: Number correct at the time of publishing, including SD, HD and regional TV variants and radio channels. 2. On Demand players: On Demand players are broadband speed dependent and 4K/UHD streaming requires faster broadband connection speeds – see service providers’ recommendations for details. Some optional On Demand content or services (such as Netflix) may cost extra and require paid subscription. 3. Great reception: Receive all satellite TV channels available on Freesat with a correctly installed, unobscured satellite dish and a HD TV. Weather conditions may affect your satellite reception temporarily. 4. Recording capabilities: Record up to 4 shows at the same time if your satellite dish has a wideband LNB – for more information on cabling, LNB type and how many shows you can record visit freesat.co.uk/help. 5. Pause and rewind and Restart Live TV: Recordable 4K TV Box required. Live restart is broadband speed dependent and available on certain BBC channels only. 6. No monthly TV Bills, no price hikes: Freesat is a free-to-air satellite TV service. There are no monthly fees (and so no price hikes) for satellite TV only. 7. Your existing provider should be able to advise you of any applicable notice periods, cancellation charges or other terms or fees which may be payable by you in accordance with your existing contract. Freesat is not responsible for any fees, costs or charges associated with cancelling your contract, nor can Freesat contact your existing provider on your behalf regarding your contract.
