Technology is leaping forward each and every year without fail, and as a result, with the quality of entertainment systems found in households across the globe is increasing also. We now expect to be entertained instantly, with downloading and streaming becoming the most common form of entertainment on a daily basis. But what about those on a limited budget, who simply cannot afford to pay several monthly subscriptions for streaming platforms?

Here we will look into how installing aerials Llandudno with Freesat can save you money, whilst providing you and your family with high-quality entertainment.

The Freesat system, which was launched in 2008, is a combined creation from the BBC and ITV that allows you to choose from 140 radio and television channels, which are available to view in both digital and HD. There are several versions of Freesat that are comparable to some of the more expensive platforms available. You can choose from the standard, HD, plus, or HD Freesat systems. The HD plus system allows you to pause, rewind and record programs in full HD. Each system will vary in price; however, all channels are free to view.

The beauty of digital technology is that any future updates that become available can be accessed with just the click of a button. This means that as new channels are added to the list you will be able to access them instantly, with no need to retune your system. There are simple ways of having Freesat available in as many rooms of your house as possible, with each room capable of having different channels on at the same time.

As catch-up TV continues to evolve, Freesat boxes are evolving as well. The latest versions of Freesat-branded boxes feature Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi so that you can stream Netflix, iPlayer, and YouTube videos. Moreover, many will now allow you to watch catch-up TV in the TV guide without leaving it by scrolling to the left of the current hour and selecting the program you want. While not all programmes will be available using this method, switching between separate apps to find your favourite show is easier than using multiple catch-up TV apps.

Since last year, Freesat has begun selling its own Freesat-branded boxes, while the other manufacturers have focused more on Freeview Play devices. Therefore, there aren't a lot of choices, so it's lucky that the Freesat-branded units are so good.
