Freesat Reviews

Free TV

In response to a special offer from Freesat I have just bought a second recordable Freesat box which is now installed in the bedroom As far as the new box is concerned Ordering was straightforward and both the despatch and delivery were rapid significantly faster than advertised The box was well packed and the communication from both Freesat and the courier was excellent Setting up the box was simple - just connect it up plug it in and follow the onscreen instructions Leaving Sky a few months ago I was originally a Sky subscriber but when yet another price increase would have put my fairly basic package to over 100 per month I decided that enough was enough and that it was time to to ditch Sky Cancelling the Sky subscription was the most tedious part of the process as they will try to give the impression that they can come up with a wonderful deal for departing customers The way they work out these deals is a total mystery but the one thing that is certain is they they will tie you to a new contract for months I managed to cut a potentially long phone call short by saying that I was not interested in any deals that I was going to leave and that I was going to cancel my Direct Debit before the next payment was due That got some action and so it was goodbye Sky - and hello Freesat As far as the first box is concerned When a Sky subscription is ended they require the equipment to be returned - apart from the satellite dish It is obviously too much hassle for them to take them down The good news is that the Sky dish is fine for Freesat reception without any adjustment It was therefore very straightforward to set up the box which was sent from Freesat with the same efficiency as the most recent purchase Over the months there have been no problems whatsoever As far as Freesat is concerned After the initial purchase of the equipment Freesat costs precisely nothing I m not including the BBC licence fee The choice of channels is huge and we have added Britbox and ITV hub though they are certainly not essential As existing Amazon Prime subscribers we also get Prime Video I have absolutely no regrets about making the move to Freesat and would recommend it to anyone who is not willing or able to continue with a paid subscription
