Digital TV via satellite has often come at too high a price for many households, as subscriptions to satellite TV companies run into many hundreds of pounds. With Maplin’s satellite kits and the advent of Freesat, viewers can now watch HDTV broadcasts for a one-off payment and no contract or subscriptions.

Freesat is a new venture created by ITV and the BBC to bring digital television to the homes of people via satellite. There are over 80 standard and high definition digital TV and radio channels available to 98% of the population. Once you have the equipment all you have to so is to aim the dish at Astra 28.2E and the full Freesat listings can be viewed.

Maplin has a range of high quality satellite receivers, dishes and accessories that are Freesat friendly and will allow you to watch the channels Freesat will broadcast. Our systems enable you to easily complete the installation yourself with a step-by-step guide; we also have an informative guide to introduce you to the world of satellite TV reception.
