How to install freesat

freesat has worked hard to ensure that anyone using the freesat name and trademark has signed up to our service levels and quality measures. Your local installer may be able to install freesat for you, but we are unable to provide any further advice or support where we do not have a relationship through a retailer, distributor or installer.

A standard satellite installation which most households will need costs around £80. A freesat+ satellite installation costs around £20 extra because of the need for two cables from your dish so that you can watch one channel and record another. Installation charges will also vary if you want freesat in more than one room. Please talk to your freesat approved retailer for more information. Find your local freesat retailer here.
