What's the difference between Freeview and freesat from Sky?

With freesat from Sky you receive the digital signal via a satellite dish. With Freeview, the digital signal is received via an aerial. Freeview currently has coverage in around 73% of the country compared with Sky’s coverage of 98%.* Freesat from Sky also has over five times the number of channels available on Freeview and you can upgrade to Sky digital at any time without the need for new digital satellite equipment or installation.

If you live in a block of flats you may have access to freesat from Sky via a communal satellite dish or an Integrated Reception System.

 Please check with your landlord, managing agent or owner of the property.

Aerials and CCTV can fit a IRS
 Integrated Reception System.

what else do I need?

All you need to get access to the free channels available on the digital satellite platform is a freesat viewing card which costs just £20.
