Freesat Dish

What to Know before Ordering a Freesat Dish

The Freesat dish is a satellite dish that allows UK residents to have access to Freesat programming, such as local UK TV programs. It is free of charge because it is via satellite. Aside from receiving transmissions from local UK channels, a Freesat dish can also give you access to other channels like PBS America and music video channels.

A satellite dish package often comes with the following:

• Freesat dish installation kit and instruction
• Dish bolts
• Fixings
• LNB (dual or quad)

When you’re looking to purchase a new or used Freesat dish from eBay, consider the following features:

• HD ready - If you have an HDTV, you would want to maximize it by receiving an HD signal from your satellite dish.
• Compatibility with any receivers – There are other satellite receivers in the market today and most of them are compatible with other brands of satellite dish.
• Number of LNB available – The number of LNB ports are quad, meaning they have four ports that connect to one satellite.
• Extras added in the package – Extras added on the package include wall mount materials like brackets, bolts, and a self-locking arm.
• Zone – You have to check your zone and make sure that you are ordering a dish for that particular zone.
• Dish material – Choose a satellite dish that is made to resist sun, inclement weather or regular wear and tear.

With Freesat, you can watch up to 200 TV channels, including basic channels such as BBC, ITV, and shopping channels. The Freesat service is designed for customers who are in the UK and Scotland. This satellite dish also works well in France, Germany, and Holland. If you decide to get a Freesat satellite dish from eBay, you should have a receiver or TV box to make it work. Here are some examples of compatible receivers:

• Manhattan SX
• HB-1100s
• Human HDR-1100s (500 Gigabytes)
• Human HDR-1100s (2 Terabytes)

No. There are satellite dishes that don't work in the UK because of dish zone. Remember that your Freesat dish must be in geographic zone 1 or zone 2 in order for it to get a Freesat signal. If you order from eBay, read the description carefully to ensure the dish meets your needs.
