No Monthly Payments with Freeview

Posted on January 29, 2011 at 11:58 am

You may be eager to start taking advantage of digital TV. After all, if the digital switchover hasn’t already happened in your area then it will do in the not too distant future, so sooner or later you will have no choice.

However, you might be concerned about the possible costs involved in making the transition. After all, you will no doubt be aware of all the monthly packages you can pay for such as those provided by Sky.

And with the festive celebrations now over, you may be feeling the financial pinch.

Christmas time is one of great joy and celebration but it can leave your wallet somewhat on the light side and those credit card bills that come through the post this month may make for some unwelcome reading.

Well, the great news is that if you have digital TV aerials installed at your property, you can take advantage of a Freeview TV setup without having any monthly payments to contend with.

Indeed, as the name suggests, the service does not cost anything. All you have to do is make sure you have digital TV aerials and get a special digital set-top box if your TV does not have this feature built into it.

Then, you can sit back and take advantage of a Freeview TV setup for as long as you want without paying a penny.

And these days there are up to 48 channels and 24 radio stations that you can tune into, meaning you will rarely be stuck for something to keep you entertained.

 

What are the Advantages of Freesat?

These days, there are many packages that you can access using digital TV aerials. Indeed, so varied are your choices that you may get confused.

One option is to simply stick with the basic Freeview TV setup that enables you to access a range of channels and radio stations without paying any monthly sums.

However, if you want a more comprehensive system, you might want to consider taking advantage of Freesat.

This fantastic offering requires a one-off payment to set it up and is free thereafter. This means you will not have to worry about putting money aside each month in order to cover the costs of your viewing.

And there are a number of benefits of this form of television watching over a Freeview TV setup.

For example, with Freesat, you can make use of the extra high-definition technology it employs on its range of channels. This means that, as long as you have an HD compatible TV set and an HD Freesat receiver, you can benefit from sharper, more colourful and better detailed pictures.

And not only this, but you can also make use of the pause, rewind and record features that come with the system, so you will never have to miss out on any of your favourite shows because you are out or because of those inconvenient knocks at your front door.

When you record programmes, they are stored on the integrated hard disk drive on the Freesat satellite receiver, meaning you will not have to use VHS tapes or recordable DVDs again.

Posted on December 3, 2010 at 11:03 am

You might be keen to make the most of what digital TV has to offer. After all, it can provide you with access to many channels and radio stations.

This makes a refreshing change from the restricted nature of traditional analogue viewing.

However, you may think that taking advantage of digital TV aerials will work out too expensive because you will be charged for viewing packages.

If you do have concerns of this nature, you may well be worrying needlessly.

True, there are many very good products around that you can pay for. For example, if you invest in Sky HD installation you can get a range of channels that you can watch in high definition.

However, there are also packages that do not incur any monthly fees that you can benefit from.

One of these is Freeview, which entitles you to a range of channels without you having to pay for them.

It is important that you do not allow misconceptions about the cost of digital TV cloud your judgement.

By delaying getting digital TV aerials, you could be needlessly limiting yourself.

To find out more about how such services may be able to benefit you, simply browse our website.

If you choose to make the most of digital TV using our services here at Satellites & Aerials, you will be able to get help and advice from experienced professionals.

And you will also ensure that you are not caught out by the digital switchover, which is due to be completed in 2012.

 

The Benefits of Freeview+

Posted on November 30, 2010 at 10:59 am

Freeview was a huge leap forward in television technology and for many people it completely changed the viewing experience. One little box, simple to install and inexpensive to buy in the first place, brought far greater clarity and a massive increase in the number of available channels. The diversity of programming on Freeview was something previously reserved for those willing to pay for special satellite and aerial installations and hefty monthly fees.

Freeview+ is a new development that’s set to change the landscape once more, this time by altering what is possible with only a simple set-top box. Normal Freeview receivers just accept the television signal and convert it into something your telly can understand, but the new Freeview+ receiver goes further and allows you to record any program you like quickly and simply, with no need for a complicated and expensive DVD recorder or resorting to an old-fashioned VCR set up. The new + models are essentially normal Freeview receivers with an attached hard drive like the one in your computer. With any television they can either convert digital TV signals straight into sound and pictures for you to watch or store them so you can watch later.

It’s a neat concept and one that lets you do much more with one simple box. Remember how amazing it was when video recorders first came out and you no longer had to miss any program or plan your life around the telly? Freeview+ will give you that same feeling again, only without the struggle to program a VCR correctly. If you need help with the digital switchover or aerial repairs/upgrade, contact us at satellitesandaerials.co.uk for quick call out and expert advice.
