Freeview vs Freesat — which is better?

Neither is universally better. Freeview uses your aerial and works in most homes without any installation. Freesat uses a satellite dish and offers 36 HD channels versus Freeview’s nine, plus more consistent reception. Choose Freeview if you have good aerial coverage and want simpler setup. Choose Freesat if HD matters more, or if you already have a dish. We make products for both — see our Freesat range.
