How do i freesat on my new smart tv;

[Mich93]

Hi my new samsung television has FREESAT , model QE43QN90A…. Do i need a satellite dish to tune into it? 
also if i move to Sky broadband would i be able to get that on this tv without a satellite dish

Thanks mich

Hi @Mich93  you  need  a satellite dish  to use the Freesat service. whilst there are on demand services available via the internet customers need the dish/receiver  for the  Tv service. Your ISP does not make a difference.  You will not need a set top Box obviously though. see more details here https://www.freesat.co.uk/news/tech/what-you-need-for-freesat

Also if you have Freeview working with a FULL complement of channels via terrestrial aerial you really aren't missing out. We have Freesat because there's only a relay Freeview transmission here with 16 basic channels instead of the full list.

Anyone know how to get the freesat channel listing to make any sense in terms of order and why there is no BB1 or 2 in HD?

Does this TV accept a signal from a wideband SKY Q LNB ?

hi i am sure i am in the wrong area but i have sky q, and a 10 year old samsung tv, its fine but i was wondering if there was a reasonably good replacement for the sky tv, ie, do i have ro to to give back the dish and can a dvr be connected so that i could record normal tv, i get that i would lose things like sky atlantic and other sky specific channels, can i keep netflix discovery plus amazon prime etc.....

i was hoping that someome may be able to tell me what i will lose and the cost savings, can ikeep my landline/broadband fibre.... how much would a smart tv android...compatible with all ive mentioned set me back........

how hard is it to set this up/any advice would be really appreciated.

ta in advance.xxxx
