Extra terrestrials lurk round every corner at the Cardiff branch of the Torchwood Institute, and it's up to the skill of Captain Jack Harkness
to save the day.

Stunning high-definition (HD)

HD means brilliant quality viewing. Up to five times more picture detail gives you deeper, richer, more vivid colours and amazing sound.

All you need is an HD Ready TV connected to a freesat HD digital box, or TV with freesat HD built in (available soon).

May Update

Due to very high demand there is a shortage of freesat HD boxes in the shops at the moment. We are working with freesat retailers and manufacturers to increase supplies as soon as possible.

In the meantime some freesat retailers will allow you to reserve HD boxes for collection when stock comes in. The freesat website will continue to give you updates.
