• Q: What is Freesat, and how does it differ from Freeview?
  A: Freesat is a subscription-free satellite television service offering over 100 digital channels, including an array of HD options. The primary difference is the delivery method: Freeview receives signals via a traditional TV aerial, whereas Freesat utilises a satellite dish, making it the perfect choice for homes located in poor terrestrial signal coverage zones or local valleys.
• Q: Do I need a satellite dish for Freesat?
  A: Yes, a functional satellite dish is required to receive Freesat signals. Our engineering team can mount a brand-new high-gain dish for you, or in many instances, we can thoroughly test, service, and repurpose your existing redundant satellite dish to save you equipment costs.
• Q: How long does the Freesat installation process take?
  A: Most standard residential installations are completed efficiently within 1 to 2 hours. The total duration can vary slightly depending on your property’s layout or whether you have requested complex hidden cabling and multi-room distribution points.
• Q: Can I record live television programmes with Freesat?
  A: Absolutely. By choosing a modern Freesat Recordable 4K TV Box, you can pause, rewind, and record live television seamlessly. These advanced smart boxes even allow you to record up to four different channels simultaneously while watching a fifth.
• Q: Will I receive international channels with Freesat?
  A: Freesat includes a variety of foreign-language and international news channels as standard. If you require a broader range of European or global broadcasts, Elite AV & Electrical can install custom multi-feed LNBs or motorised satellite systems tailored to your specific requirements.
• Q: Is there a warranty for the installation service and equipment?
  A: Yes. For your complete peace of mind, Elite AV & Electrical backs all of our satellite installation services, structural mounting brackets, and supplied Freesat hardware with a comprehensive 1 to 2-year workmanship and parts warranty.
• Q: Can I use Freesat alongside my existing television subscription services?
  A: Yes. Freesat can cleanly complement your existing smart streaming setups, providing a robust, subscription-free live broadcast network across your property without adding any extra monthly fees or contract renewals.
