Freeview and Freesat set-top boxes: Freesat digital TV How to set up Freesat
Chances are, if you buy a new Freesat box, you'll have to get the dish and cables installed too.
High street stores selling Freesat boxes are also providing access to outsourced Freesat installation services. Argos and John Lewis offer single-room Freesat installations for £80.
Comet has a pricing structure in place for multiple-room Freesat installations:
- 1 room £79.95
- 2 rooms £119.95
- 3 rooms £159.95
- 4 rooms £189.95
Already got a dish?
If you've already got a dish installed, there's a good chance it will be pointing in the right direction and will work with your Freesat box.
John Lewis offers a £50 dish check if you're not sure. The new Freesat boxes connect to the satellite via a standard LNB IN socket.
If you're a Sky user and connect your Freesat box to your Sky dish while still under contract, there is a strong chance you will be invalidating your warranty.
