Humber Satellite directly employ highly skilled aerial & satellite installers who are local to you. Because they are local, they are on hand to provide a broad range of digital television services usually within hours of your telephone call, and more importantly, have indepth knowledge of your area and signals being received for services such as Freeview, Freesat, Sky or a range of satellite systems.

How Do I ‘Switch On To Digital’?

With Freeview TV, there is no monthly subscription required to receive and enjoy the service. You are not tied into any contract, any rental agreements or committment. Freeview, as the name suggests, is FREE!

However, for those who want to receive extra digital entertainment channels, such as Sentanta Sports, MTV, Living, The Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and many more, can also purchase a ‘Top Up TV Anytime’ digital receiver.

This additional set top box automatically records approximately 150 digital programmes and stores them for your viewing for upto 7 days. As these programmes are recorded and stored on the hardrive, they can be viewed anytime at your request, when it suits you.

‘Top Up TV Anytime’ does require a monthly payment direct to Top Up TV.

NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS!

With Freeview TV, there is no monthly subscription required to receive and enjoy the service, although there are a number or additional Freeview digital channels available via Top Up TV, or pay to view TV channels. If you wish to receive these premium channels, you will require a digital receiver with CAM card access.
Can I Receive Freeview Digital TV?

Although you can check if you receive Freeview Digital TV online using the official digital TV postcode checking system, this is not always accurate, as it is based upon general area signal strengths.

Humber Satellite specializes in providing suitable solutions to meet your home entertainment needs! Using specialist equipment and having many years of experience in quality installations throughout the UK, you may still be able to receive digital Freeview TV, or an alternative Digital TV system.

Using our digital signal meters, we can provide a digital reception test at your property to see whether you can receive the Freeview digital signal. We have found good results in many area’s where the online digital checker states there is no reception. In the small minority of poor reception area’s, where digital is not available, an alternative digital viewing system, such as Freesat or Sky TV can be installed.

Freeview+ – Record/Pause/Rewind Live TV!

Freeview+, similar to both Sky+ and the new Freesat+ PVR, provides any consumer the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward their favourite digital television shows, live!

Furthermore, a Freeview+ digital receiver can record your favourite tv shows whilst you are not at home, at work or away, ensuring you never miss a show again! You can even set your Freeview+ receiver to record an entire series of your favourite television programmes by the press of a button!

Freeview+ like the other Freeview services requires no monthly charge or subscription, and is provided completely free of charge providing you have a Freeview+ digital receiver. You may also require the installation of a digital tv aerial, or a second live channel feed, depending on your TV system and requirements.

Freeview+ (or Freeview Plus) provides the home user all the benefits of home tape recording, but without the neccessity of tapes, and can store many programmes for free on the in built hard drive.

Freeview HD

As per Freesat+, Sky+ etc, Freeview have their own Freeview HD+ branded set top box allowing viewers to rewind, record and pause live HD transmissions. Freeview will be broadcasting these channels free inline with it’s current policy, and again, no monthly subscription, rental or commitment is required.

However, to receive and benefit from the improved High Definition signal which provides greater and more vibrant colours with better picture clarity, you will require a HD compatible television, together with a Freeview HD set top box, or when available, a Freeview HD integrated Digital TV.

BT Vision – TV on Demand

BT have introduced their own range of digital television services via BT Vision. A BT Vision digital box will receive the channels on offer from Freeview with no monthly subscriptions, but will also provide hours of further entertainment by providing ‘TV on Demand’, programmes available to watch when you want, at the touch of a button! This provides a much more varied and wider range of digital entertainment for all the family. However, to reap the benefits of the full BT Vision service, you require a suitable broadband connection, complete with a monthly subscription package for the BT Vision services.

BT Vision+ now also provides the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward live digital television broadcasts! Similar to Sky+, Freeview+ and Freesat+, you will never miss your favourite episode again, as you will also be able to record your favourite television programmes straight to your BT Vision+ set top box – for easy viewing later.
