Bbc And Itv Team Up For Free Satellite Service
A new joint venture from the BBC and ITV is to provide a free-to-view satellite service for thousands of homes across the UK.
Available to 98 per cent of homes with a satellite dish, Freesat will broadcast 80 digital television and radio channels with up to 200 on offer by the end of the year.
Though Freesat users will have to pay a one-off charge for the service - covering a satellite dish, set-top box and an installation fee - there will be no monthly subscription charge.
The service will also be available to homes that are currently unable to receive Freeview TV.
Emma Scott from Freesat told BBC Radio 5Live: "It's got 98 per cent coverage across the UK and it's only homes that really don't have a clear line of sight to the satellite that can't get it, or certain listed buildings.
"But unlike Freeview you can receive Freesat across the country, which means that in those areas that at the moment can't get access to free digital television this is the first time that you can get free digital TV."
Freesat also hopes that its service - which provides HD programming from the BBC and ITV - will encourage more Britons to take advantage of high-definition programme.
An estimated ten million homes have an HD-ready television but do not currently use an HD receiver of subscription service.
Michael Grade, ITV's executive chairman, said the launch of Freesat was "the final piece in the digital jigsaw".
"We will launch our HD service with an unrivalled line up of premium football including the FA Cup, England internationals and Uefa Champions League from next season," he added.

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo hit a “rough patch”
Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo had just hit a “rough patch” in their relationship; and might not be totally over yet, say sources close to the pair.
“Every couple has their problems; we’re hoping that they’ll have a break and work it all out,” the source said.
Dallas Cowboys star, Tony, 28, reportedly had plans to propose to Jessica, and just recently she referred to him as her “future husband” in Glamour magazine.
A source told Fox News that Romo was organizing an “intimate dinner for friends and family” to take place in Texas within the next few weeks in anticipation of announcing his engagement to the eldest Simpson sister.
