You pay for a dish, installation and receiver. After that it's free, but a top up service is available if you want Sky Sports etc.
Freeview and freesat have different channel lineups.0 -
Both are free services.
Freesat is from a satellite, you need a dish.
Freeview is terrestrial, you need an aerial.
You can get Freesat from Sky as well, also free.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
freesat from sky is *almost* free after installation, but ever 5 years or so you might need to shell out for a new sky viewing card to watch the channels, which are free but encrypted.0
